HCARES members collborated with the Georgia Piedmont K-9 Search & Rescue Team  in a joint training exercise and drill. GA Piedmont K-9 Teams conducted their training while HCARES members were able to practice deployment of two mobile base stations to establish radio communications for the teams, as well as event logging. Other HCARES members off-site, monitored communications to provide signal reports on the remote location set-up for simplex and repeater frequencies. 

If you are interested in training a K-9 for Search and Rescue, visit the Georgia Piedmont K-9 Search and Rescue Team website by clicking the logo above.
