00:00:04.066 --> 00:00:08.366
Husband: One of the main challenges of search and rescue work in and of itself

2
00:00:08.366 --> 00:00:10.233
are all the things that go into it.

3
00:00:10.233 --> 00:00:15.233
Paging systems, to gather your volunteers and resources to complete the mission,

4
00:00:15.466 --> 00:00:20.466
to mapping resources, tasking resources, team allocation

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.766
and then communication comms between

6
00:00:23.766 --> 00:00:28.699
your command and your active teams in the field.

7
00:00:28.699 --> 00:00:31.066
It's a lot of moving parts -

8
00:00:31.066 --> 00:00:34.799
to have a program that puts all of those things

9
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:39.133
into one convenient spot is very appealing.

10
00:00:39.133 --> 00:00:42.633
Koester: Lost Person Locator program has several components to it.

11
00:00:42.633 --> 00:00:47.066
We have a book out, we have some guidelines out.

12
00:00:47.066 --> 00:00:50.100
And then we actually have the find software.

13
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:52.000
Mosier: And I think it gives you the ability to

14
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.366
put several different layers of tools together

15
00:00:54.366 --> 00:00:57.466
and the software's allowing you to build these layers of tools,

16
00:00:57.466 --> 00:01:01.600
which gives you more precise information to work from.

17
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:06.600
Husband: Today being able to see the mapping function of this software

18
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.900
tied up and teamed up with the team and the task

19
00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:13.433
was probably the thing that was most appealing to me.

20
00:01:13.433 --> 00:01:15.200
Atchley: I think some of the strengths

21
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.200
of the Lost Person Locator are going to be consistency.

22
00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:24.866
The teams within an agency all doing things in the same manner.

23
00:01:24.866 --> 00:01:29.733
I think that it will help prompt people to think about

24
00:01:29.733 --> 00:01:34.333
areas that may have gotten missed in the chaos of a search.

25
00:01:34.333 --> 00:01:37.133
Koester: The goal of the Lost Person Locator program

26
00:01:37.133 --> 00:01:41.133
is simple and straightforward; to find people faster.
