I'm a member of Manchester, CT ARES and CERT. We run excercises with the local Mountain Bike Search and Rescue (MBSAR) and the Connecticut Canine Search and rescue (CCSAR) providing communications from search units back to the EOC or field control base. By having a CERT/HAM/Emcomm team member train with the Canine teams, it allows more teams to be dispached at the same time. Each team consists of a dog handler, the search dog and a ham/emcomm comunicator trained to use GPS and Topo maps to search a predefined sector of a search area. It's great training and good excersise too!
