Want to help!

After a recent visit back to Florida, I was asked by K-9 Search and Rescue Team. If I would be able to start up a International Search and Rescue Team to back up this K-9 SAR Team incase of any major emergency disaster in Florida. So we decided to start up an International Response Team as a Hurricane back up team for my counter-part team in Florida.

At present we are just recruiting to see who would be interested into joining the team. Before you go and apply, we are not backed by any goverment fund thus making it self funding team. But we are in talks with some airlines and other SAR companies and  making very good progress for these companies to back us.

We are looking for people over the age of 21, male or female with some sort of emegency or military background to join the team. We are looking at recruiting around 12 people with knowledge of First Aid, Navigation, Survival training and not scared of the dark and getting wet. If you fit the profile please email us here at Southdowns Trekking Expeditions for further infomation.
