Disaster Search K-9's
The Disaster Search Canine searches for lost or missing persons due to natural or man made disasters such as tornadoes, building collapse and bombings, and other instances where persons may be buried or trapped under debris or rubble. Our canines also complete building searches as part of this training and SCEMK9 teams train to the Federal National Disaster Standard set forth by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Some members have background training with these National Task Forces from Missouri and Nebraska. Not all handlers are pictured here. Currently K-9 Jake and K-9 Clarice are our certified K-9's! K-9 Alvin challenges his certification soon! Check back here for more info!
These team members are now participating in a Disaster Dog Course developed by SCEMK9 following FEMA guidelines and have started the course in October 2004! Look for more info on this here, photos and videos as well, as the course continues and our teams become nationally certified!
