The New Mexico Search and Rescue Council (NMSARC) is the only organization that represents over seven hundred volunteers who make their wilderness search and rescue skills available to the State of New Mexico. We speak as the collective voice of these volunteers. NMSARC dues support Summer, Winter, and specialized trainings, as well as its members' annual state conference, ESCAPE. Member teams also have access to three VHF and two UHF NMSARC radio frequencies, an affordable USGS topo maps program, LCD projectors, and more.
