Scores of individuals go missing during routine activities each year and the circumstances of their disappearance dictate what tools are used to bring them home. The boat will be the central tool in Gulf-oriented marine operations, including deep sea search and dive missions as well as coastal search, rescue and recovery efforts. In addition to this vessel, the request for exposure suits as well as adult personal flotation devices, will increase the safety and effectiveness of sea operations. Public distribution of infant and child personal flotation will increase the availability of these devices and the awareness of the need to wear such devices in order to minimize the likelihood of tragedy. Integrating UAV’s into ESAR’s toolbox will dramatically increase the speed, safety and effectiveness of search operations in a host of conditions. Project Lifesaver bracelets and the associated kits allow ESAR to locate participating individuals exponentially more rapidly than those without. As Project Lifesaver International (PLI) notes on their website, “Recovery times for PLI clients average 30 minutes — 95% less time than standard operations.” By purchasing a dozen additional Project Lifesaver kits, and dispersing them throughout the area to trained volunteers, ESAR can ensure that regardless of where an individual goes missing, they are never far from this vital asset. The purchase of these assets will dramatically increase the capability of ESAR to bring lost individuals home to their loved ones. Since everyone has the potential to get lost and the services of ESAR are provided as needed and free of charge, every individual in the community has the potential to benefit from ESAR’s increased effectiveness as a result of this improvement in equipment and technology.
