Informative SAR Links

Each link below will take you to another website.

• Hike Safe There and Back
• National Association for Search & Rescue (NASAR)
• Oregon State Emergency Management (OEM) Search & Rescue Program
• OutdoorSafe.com – information and education on outdoor safety by Peter Kummerfeldt
• USGS downloadable “U.S. topo” maps – maps are available in pdf format in the 7.5′ map series format. The pdfs include an orthoimage (aerial photo) layer. This layer can be superimposed over other layers, including the contour layer.
• USGS Store – you can select individual maps for downloading using the “map locator and downloader” link. Please note they are reasonably large (Corvallis 7.5′ is ~ 21 megabytes), but you can select individual maps and place them into your shopping cart for a mass download.
