This is a solid gold piece of reference
material that should be in every search manager's primary library...a long
awaited and much needed publication for the SAR community. --Robert "Skip"
Stoffel, Emergency Response International We highly recommend Urban Search.
It combines technical and search management expertise into a readable
compendium of valuable information in this little known specialty. Young
and Wehbring bring a wealth of experience to the fast growing need for
urban search capabilities across the United States. --Lois Clark McCoy,
President, National Institute for Urban Search & Rescue
A good tool to add to the search
manager's tool box when facing the most difficult SAR there is: the job of
searching for someone missing in the urban/suburban environment. This well
put-together guide covers the practically endless possibilities in this
complex environment --Matt Scharper, California State SAR Coordinator,
Governor's Office of Emergency Services, Law Enforcement BranchA comprehensive guide to the problem of
urban searching. Everyone, no matter how experienced, will find something
of value in it. --Dave Perkins, The Centre for Search Research, UK
My prediction is that this book will become
the world's leading text for urban search within a very short time because
of its quality and the operational usefulness of its information. --Ross
Gordon, Search and Rescue Institute New Zealand, NZ
