Annually, there are numerous cases of individual rescues from wild, remote or forested areas. Hence, it is paramount that countries have in place a rigorous forestry search and rescue capability to minimise loss of lives. The Forestry Search and Rescue Application offers an effective solution for authorities such as the Police as well as Emergency and Rescue Agencies responsible for rescuing individuals lost or injured in the forest. This application is also of importance to Fire Services who attend to forest fires or downed aircraft.
