“Lost Persons Behavior” training 24 February Anne Arundel County, Maryland

Subject: Training - Lost Persons Behavior

AAACERT is hosting “Lost Persons Behavior” training program on 24 February at the Anne Arundel County Fire Training Academy from 0800 – 1700.

Lost person behavior is the cornerstone of search and rescue efforts.  During this one-day class, participants will learn about behavioral profiles that give insight into what drives the basic

behaviors of lost people, how to pinpoint the most likely areas to search, and how to create reflex tasking to deploy teams into the field as quickly as possible.  Participants will put their knowledge to practice with numerous map problems.

Participants will be provided with the Lost Person Behavior book that can be used as a field reference.  The LPB book is the definitive guide to solving the puzzle of where a lost person might be found.  Included in the book are 41 subject categories with statistics from over 50,000 international SAR incidents, behavioral profiles, suggested initial tasks, special investigative questions, survivability, track offset, dispersion angles, and classic statistics such as distance from the initial planning point.  Quite simply, the purpose of the book is to help searchers look in the right place to find lost subjects faster.

Also included are topographical maps for completing map problems in class.  Participants should bring a pen, highlighter, and ruler.  A certificate will be presented upon successful completion of the course.

The cost is $50 per student and includes textbook.

This course will be taught by Ms. Lisa Kakavas of UMBC and part of a Search and Rescue Team.

This class is appropriate for CERT, SAR, FD/EMS, Law Enforcement and others involved or interested in lost persons.

Highlight: Researchers Develop More Efficient Conversion Method For Solar Energy

The HDIAC Currents are now available The Currents newsletter is a biweekly digest of news from worldwide sources, showing headlines of innovative, emerging technologies in HDIAC's eight focus areas.  View or Download the Currents Highlight: Researchers Develop More Efficient Conversion Method For Solar Energy “Researchers at the University of Twente's MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology have made significant efficiency improvements to the technology used to generate solar fuels. This involves the direct conversion of energy from sunlight into a usable fuel (in this case, hydrogen). Using only earth-abundant materials, they developed the most efficient conversion method to date. The trick was to decouple the site where sunlight is captured from the site where the conversion reaction takes place.”
