Who We Are

Rescuers with
a voice.

Colorado Search & Rescue Awareness is a collection of the majority of teams in Colorado who believe the professional volunteers doing the work of rescue in their communities should have a strong voice in determining how Search & Rescue policy and tactics are developed in the state.

The people best qualified to shape SAR policy are the ones who show up when the call comes in.
