(Search With Aerial Rc Multi-rotor) is a worldwide volunteer search and rescue network of SAR Drone Pilots dedicated to searching for missing persons at no cost to the local SAR Organization or families.

I'm doing a Swiss-only version (http://notfalldrohnen.com), which will be online for the 2014 Ski season in November. Still much work to do on the site as you can see (I'm mainly waiting for the animation designers to get back with the "how it works" file).
Would be keen to what synergies we have. Particularly in the areas of:
- Insurance liability
- Vehicle certification process and minimum specifications
- Standardised sensor packages
- Application design; notfalldrohnen will be using android and Apple apps linked to a backend database
- Obtaining approvals from the local civil aviation authority.
Nvm I emailed him already :)
Adam, Can you please have Jim Bowers contact me? I'd love to build a partnership between my site CAD Drones and SARDrones.org
Josh, Thanks for the kind words. While I am a member, all the credit for starting the site and Facebook group goes to Jim Bowers of California.
Great website for a great cause! I'm glad to see moderators being able to post about their own sites.
Bravo,
Josh
