WANT YOUR OWN "NMSAR.ORG" EMAIL ADDRESS?
You can use it on search and rescue business cards, as your login for any sar forums, to communicate with your own team, or the teams throughout the state (you will have to authorize your nmsar.org address on the NMSAR-Forum.) The only stipulation is that the email format be a combination of your first name "dot" last name (e.g., john.smith) to allow for some transparency as to who you are and hopefully eliminate spam.
If you are interested, send an email to admin@nmsar.org with your name and team affiliation.

FIELD CERTIFICATION
The New Mexico Search and Rescue (SAR) Field Certification Program came about in 1996 to ensure that individuals asked to participate on a SAR incident are qualified to provide the basic services to the subjects lost or in need of our services. The following documents are the study materials for the Field Certification exam. If the Field Certification study guide is too large for you to download on your computer, request one from the SAR Resource Officer at: 2501 Carlisle Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110 or call (505) 841-9297.

How to set up a field certification test in your area: There is a scheduled Field Certification test at ESCAPE each year. If a team wants to set up a Field Certification test for any time other than ESCAPE, they may contact one of the following:
State SAR Resource Officer-Bob Rodgers: Robert.Rodgers@state.nm.us
P.A.C.E. Chair-Tony Gaier: anthony.gaier@gmail.com
P.A.C.E. Chair-Tony Gaier: anthony.gaier@gmail.com
They will either provide the name of an Evaluator in (or near) the team's area and/or will contact a representative of the team. That Evaluator will then work with the team to set up the test. A date, time and location will need to be determined. A sufficient number of Evaluators will be provided for the testing. A room large enough for the test will be necessary, including tables and chairs and space such as a hallway or assembly area to spread out gear. An outdoor space for the compass test will also be required. The Evaluator will work with the team to coordinate the testing. If there are any other questions, please contact one of the above.
