New Mexico Search and Rescue Volunteers
Volunteer teams make a valuable and often critical contribution to New Mexico’s citizens. Most search and rescue volunteers are self-supporting and cover expenses for equipment and training out of their own pockets. Many have acquired specialized skills, such as emergency medical training, high-angle rescue, cave rescue, water recovery, K-9 and horse search, and ATV/4WD capabilities. Some volunteers and teams are able to help meet their financial needs by appealing to their communities for donations. Anyone donating money, equipment, or services to volunteers can mail the donation to the New Mexico Search and Rescue Council (NMSARC), PO Box 3396, Albuquerque, NM 87190 or use our secure donation link below. Please make any checks payable to NMSARC, and include the name of the subject, date and location of the search and rescue incident. Donations do not have to originate with a specific incident. They may be directed to the NMSARC and/or its volunteer member teams. Donors may specify specific team(s) as recipients. |
Volunteer teams can be activated in their local areas or can be asked to travel state-wide. Transportation (fuel and oil) costs are repaid by the state if requested, and the state provides specific accident and liability coverage for volunteers who are officially participating in a mission. Food, lodging, personal equipment, and other costs are paid by the volunteers themselves.
If you feel in any way, that any New Mexico Department of Public Safety personnel or its agents (volunteers) have requested or suggested that you donate any money equipment or services because of a search and rescue incident, please contact the New Mexico State Search and Rescue Office, located in the New Mexico Department of Public Safety complex in Santa Fe at (505) 841-9297.
