Specific topics include collecting, analyzing, and processing intelligence; formulating search strategies; conducting search operations; managing resources; utilizing technology in search; and documenting search efforts. While designed for events of large scale the concepts also apply to wilderness search and other events which involve coordinating search and rescue resources from multiple agencies.
