The Program Source
The Mountain Bike Search and Rescue (MBSAR) program is a comprehensive and effective one established over many years of development and effective use. We can offer it here through ERTSAR. You will see that it was originally managed through DIMERSAR (now Advanced Rescue by DIMERSAR) and is publicly available on the referred websites below.
However, although we are a non-profit and charitable organisation and do need to raise funds, we are able to offer some discounted and grant options to other volunteer groups.
WEBSITES: You can get more information on the original program HERE and the newer program HERE.
