Today is National .
On May 25, 1979, 6-year-old Etan Patz vanished on his way to the school bus. His disappearance sparked a national movement.

Today, we remember every child who is still missing, stand with the families still searching for answers, and continue to hold onto hope. Learn more about the history of this day: ncmec.org/footer/about/history

This week is National Search and Rescue Awareness Week โ€” a time to recognize the dedicated volunteers and professionals who respond when others are lost, missing, or in need of help.

Search and Rescue teams train countless hours, work in difficult conditions, and stand ready at any hour to serve their communities. Every role within these organizations is important in bringing people home safely.

Thank you to all Search and Rescue personnel across the country for your commitment, sacrifice, and service. Stay safe, and thank you for all you do. ๐Ÿงก

We often get called upon to search water from the shoreline and there are often bodies of water in our search areas that need to be checked.
