alzheimer's patient.

finding equipment and GPS to locate and assist the victim(s).

- We respond to disasters in various roles, as specific
organizational teams.

| Outcomes: | Benevolent results. Primary areas of involvement include the nine counties of Central Texas. We provide needed services to assist the community in times of need. We are generally deployed to emergencies such as missing persons, or disasters such as flood, tornado, or hurricanes. We provide our membership with training to accommodate these needs. SAR Team 8 believes that young people have a role and a desire to help
their communities by responding in times of need. Consequently, SAR Team
8 sponsors Venture Crew 512 through the BSA. A Venture Crew is a Scouting
affiliated unit that allows young people to participate in our missions.
Our youth members go through the same training program as adults, although
they do not carry out some of the more hazardous aspects of missions. This teaches volunteerism, leadership, and valuable emergency response skills. |
| Events Hosted: | We hold formal trainings on a quarterly basis, with exercises scheduled in between. We often participate in multi-agency exercises with various emergency response organizations. |
