Every year many children, elderly parents, outdoor enthusiasts, etc get lost. Their families' lives could be changed forever if not found. We can't change the course of events that have happened, but we can help by assisting police, fire departments, or other accredited agencies in bringing loved ones home to their families. This is not a job for everyone. It takes time, commitment, training and above all a love for Search and Rescue work. But, if your in good health, and willing to help, you can become part of our energetic team that can be activated here on Long Island as well as New York State.

Long Island Search and Rescue is looking for energetic and dedicated volunteers. Volunteers will become trained in the art of survival among the wilderness, as well as perform search and rescue missions for lost individuals. Our team consists of K9 handlers, individual man-trackers, high altitude climbers, land group searchers, and etc. In the future, we are looking to expand our team into swift water rescue, avalanche rescue, and cave rescue.
