How to Become a Member

Welcome to the home of the Tampa Bay Search and Rescue Team. To become a member of TBSAR you must have a current Health Care Provider CPR Card and IS-317 offered for free on the FEMA website: http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is317.asp

Membership dues are $30.00 one time and includes ONE TBSAR T-Shirt and access to the UHF LTR Radio System.

Members interested in field operations must be in good physical health and must be comfortable in various types of weather and terrain.
Members should be available 24/7 on a fairly regular basis for emergency responses.
In order to maintain active membership status, members are expected to maintain a minimum 50% attendance level for team functions, including: emergency call outs; meetings; required training sessions; and fund raising events.
Members are expected to maintain a high level of emergency preparedness by attending team training sessions when scheduled as well as practicing SAR techniques on their own.
Members are financially responsible for their own equipment, clothing, travel expenses and some costs for classes and class materials.
