Victim Survival Limitations
Chances of finding survivors alive drops rapidly
-50% of survivors are found
in the first 24 hours
-Over 75% of survivors are
found within 48 hours
Contributing factor
-Traumatic injuries and the
"Golden Hour"
-Trouble typically occurs in
poor weather conditions
-Urban population has a low
level of survival awareness
and outdoor skills
Limiting the Search Area
How far can the survivor go?
-The average adult male
walks 2 miles an hour
in open forest, making the
search area approximately 13
square miles
-In two hours the search area
is approximately 50 square
miles
Few missing persons go farther than 3 miles
Emergency response keeps the search manageable
