PER 213: Wide Area Search Course

October 6, 2026 8:00 AM - October 8, 2026 5:00 PM (CDT)

Description

When disaster strikes, it can be a challenge to effectively mobilize, organize, and deploy needed resources. The TEEX/NERRTC Wide Area Search course is an excellent training opportunity for nearly any jurisdiction or agency that may face such an emergency. The discipline applies to a vast number of critical situations including natural disasters or terrorist incidents. 

Participants are instructed in practical search methods and skills so they can perform systematic searches over a large, affected area. The training includes challenging exercises that mirror real life scenarios. The three-day long event concludes with an in-depth exercise that requires participants to apply the skills gained during the course. The instructors delivering the course are knowledgeable, experienced emergency responders who have actively employed wide area search techniques during some of the nation’s largest and most challenging search and rescue operations.

Important: Registration is a two-step process. All participants must register for the course at the TEEX Student Portal Account to guarantee a seat in the course.

Course topics: Preparedness and Response, Search Management and Planning, Mapping, Search and Strategies and Skills, Communication, Team Management, Hands on Exercise

Target audience: Fire and rescue, Law Enforcement, Medical Professionals, Emergency Management, Hazardous Materials, Canine Handlers Recommended, Volunteers from CERT, The American Red Cross, animal rescue organizations. Priority registration is for emergency services personnel in the Kansas City metropolitan area: Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte and Ray counties in Missouri and Leavenworth, Johnson, Miami and Wyandotte counties in Kansas.
