Barrow Volunteer Search & Rescue consists of volunteers who take the time from their busy lives, and often risk their own lives to search for overdue North Slope community members.
We live in the Arctic with extremely cold conditions, where weather is unpredictable and can change in a matter of minutes. If you are going out for a ride or on a hunt, even it it is only for a day trip, please take every precaution and plan properly for your safety! Minimum steps to be taken when planning for an outdoor adventure include: Writing & filing a trip plan to be submitted to Search & Rescue and to your points of contact, such as family members.
