NAVSAR Mission Statement:
The National Association of Volunteer Search and Rescue Teams, Inc. (NAVSAR) is committed to providing financial and material support to the nation’s volunteer search and rescue teams. The volunteer organizations assist their local communities to help locate missing persons and aid in times of disaster. Because these organizations are largely non-governmental organizations, they receive no government funding and rely on donations and support from their communities to provide their essential services.
