Hey all, I work for the City of Southfield Department of Public Works and we have recently formed a Community Emergency Response Team to back up our first responders here in the city. Our DPW-CERT has 26 employees trained and all are ready for more. So I am looking for classes like Intro to Search & Rescue(ISAR), Fundmentals of Search & Rescue(FUNSAR) ETC. ETC. located in or close to Michigan for our Team. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Justin Water & Sewer Department, DPW Safety Coordinator & DPW-CERT Coordinator

Justin, There are no NASAR instructors in Michigan. If it is your wish to get training, I believe you would have to get someone to come from Ohio or Indiana to conduct a class. We conduct or our basic training on the west side of the state. Our classes are geared specifically for Michigan and followed up by months of re-enforcement training. NASAR has a book titled Fundamentals of Search and Rescue and an internet test you can get SARTech III certified. Fritz
