Manual is to assist States in meeting their own search and rescue (SAR) needs, and the obligations they

accepted under the Convention on International Civil Aviation, the International Convention on Maritime

Search and Rescue, and the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). These volumes

provide guidelines for a common aviation and maritime approach to organizing and providing SAR services.

States are encouraged to develop and improve their SAR services, co-operate with neighbouring States, and

to consider their SAR services to be part of a global SAR system.

     Each IAMSAR Manual volume is written with specific SAR system duties in mind, and can be used as a stand-

alone document, or, in conjunction with the other two volumes, as a means to attain a full view of the SAR

system. Depending on the duties assigned, it may be necessary to hold only one, or two or all three volumes.

    The Organization and Management volume (volume I) discusses the global SAR system concept, establishment and improvement of national and regional SAR systems, and co-operation with neighbouring States to provide effective and economical SAR services;

     The Mission Co-ordination volume (volume II) assists personnel who plan and co-ordinate SAR operations and exercises; and The Mobile Facilities volume (volume III) is intended to be carried aboard rescue units, aircraft, and vessels to help with performance of a search, rescue, or on-scene co-ordinator functions, and with aspects of SAR that pertain to their own emergencies.
