New Incident Command Vehicle

Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Resuce - Operations Support Unit is trying to raise funds for a new Incident command vehicle.

Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue (SCVSAR) was formed in 1958. On August 22, 1967 we were incorporated in the state of Washington and shortly thereafter applied for and was granted non-profit Status (501c3).

We are an all-volunteer organization with about 330 members from all over Snohomish County. Our skills include first aid, CPR, search and survival, terrain and weather knowledge, map reading and orientation, helicopter operations, search dogs, man tracking, swift water rescue, mountain climbing skills, Operations Support and other specialized skills.

The volunteers spend an average of 5,000 hours on 125 missions per year. Missions include: lost hikers, children, hunters, climbers, Alzheimer’s victims, missing aircraft, river and lake rescues, and assisting other agencies throughout Snohomish County.

SCVSAR never charges for its services. Our operation is mainly funded by private donations.

OSU provides command, coordination, communications, and hospitality assistance to Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, and the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management when those agencies request us. We help with search and rescue work, but are also called on to assist with natural disaster management. We are always on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Please assist us in raising the funds needed for this command vehicle!! It will get put to very good use!!

Thank you!
