Our team has also lead ground recovery efforts for large scale accidents including Swissair 111; assisted the Red Cross in 9/11 passenger diversion activity; participated in mass public evacuation for train derailments, floods, infrastructure damage, and fires; and provided transportation services during extreme weather events for hospital staff to and from locations.

Eastern Shore Ground Search and Rescue

Eastern Shore Ground Search and Rescue is a community-based volunteer emergency response organization. Our purpose is to find and rescue lost person(s). ESGSAR's territory covers from Porter`s Lake to Mooseland and up the Meagher`s Grant Road.(Hwy.357) to Crawford`s Bridge. Our team can also provide assistance to teams outside our area when requested.

All of these programs have theory and practice components.
