Search Area Theoretical
type: Dataset
description: IMPORTANT: This is the source of the feature layer template in the LearnArcGIS Lesson: Prepare for SAR Incidents and for the MapSAR Solution. If this layer is cloned or copied, the owner of the items needs to update the item details to reflect this. Purpose: This is a feature layer template for use in missing person search operations. It is based on the MapSAR (ArcGIS Desktop) Data Model but simplified for use in web maps and apps. Please see MapSAR GitHub for more information on this project. Maps are at the core of any Search and Rescue (SAR) operation. Geographic information system (GIS) software allows rescue personnel to quickly generate maps that depict specific aspects of the operation and show what is happening on the ground over time. The maps and operations data can be shared over a network to supply an enhanced common operating picture throughout the Incident Command Post (ICP). A team of GIS and SAR professionals from Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team, Esri, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, Yosemite National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and the Mountaineer Rescue Group came together to develop the tools and instructions to fit established SAR workflows. The goal is to meet the critical need to provide standards, documents, and training to the international SAR community and establish more widespread and effective integration of GIS into operations. See Comments below for updates to the data model.
