Safety first, always
No searcher becomes a second casualty. Follow your team leader, carry your own kit, and report your status on schedule.
Interactive Demo — Sample Data
Volunteer onboarding
Every search needs a hive
SARhive volunteers work inside a managed structure: a role, a team, a task and a debrief. Self-deployment is never accepted.
Information: Managed deployment only
Volunteers are activated by a coordinator against a specific task. Registering here places you in the readiness roster — it is not an activation.
Role identification system
Each role carries a two-letter code and a stripe pattern so it stays readable in poor light, on patches and at distance. Status is never communicated by colour alone.

Respect for families
