RASAR

ROCKINGHAM-AUGUSTA SEARCH & RESCUE is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to assisting local law enforcement and the Virginia Department of Emergency Management with search and rescue operations. We work primarily on missing and lost person searches, but can also be called to assist with downed aircraft searches, evidence recovery and rescue operations. We are often called to serve the most vulnerable members of our community, including children, adults with mental health issues and the elderly. We search for both live and presumed dead subjects. Our team focuses its services on the Rockingham/Augusta area, but we are trained and prepared to respond to resource needs throughout Virginia. We are committed to educating the public, especially youth and law enforcement/rescue organizations, about what we do and how to be prepared for wilderness survival.
