| dbS Productions is pleased to be part of a USDA grant which
allows the collection and analysis of SAR statistics from around the world.
New probability of area (POA) and survivability computer models will be
developed that are specific to subject type, eco-region, terrain,
land-features, and several other factors. Several new subject types
are being developed in greater detail (autism, mountain-bikes, ATV,
snowmobiles, alpine skier's, Nordic skiers, snowboarders, mushroom pickers,
ginseng hunters, etc). Over 26,000 SAR incidents have already been
collected. Data has been collected from Australia, Canada, the United
Kingdom, Ireland, and the USA. Additional countries and states are
still expected to contribute data soon. While a lot of data has already
been collected, additional data is still needed from selected eco-regions.
The project is especially looking for SAR cases from the following
eco-regions; all of the cold domains (icecap, tundra, and sub artic), warm
continental (US Northeast), Prairie (US great plains, NZ Canterbury Plains),
Mediterranean (California, countries around the Mediterranean),
Tropical/Subtropical Steppe (Texas, New Mexico), Tropical/Subtropical Desert
(Southwest desert in California, Arizona, Australia), Savanna (Tropics), and
Rainforest (Tropics).
If you are interested in providing data please contact us first, for
additional information. |
