There are a set of minimum requirements every member of KCSARA must adhere to in order to participate in mission activities.
Your personal training records are available here. Please periodically review this information and help us keep your records up-to-date.
Each of the member units within KCSARA establishes and holds their own training. Some of this unit training satisfies the minimum training required by KCSARA.
Once or twice a year, KCSARA holds an academy which offers entry level classes and refreshers for the required courses, in addition to some educational electives.
Once a year the Washington State Search and Rescue Conference is held. Hosted by different Washington counties, the conference rotates to a different county each year.
Some training requirements can be satisfied though participation in missions.
Some third-parties conduct training that satisfies the minimum training required by KCSARA.
Unit Training Directors and staff, this page is for you.
Some courses offered by other organizations are perfectly acceptable to meet your required courses. For example, just about any first-aid and CPR course will satisfy those requirements. Other requirements might have outside equivalents. Check with your training director to make sure, before investing any time or money into a third-party course.
