NEW MEXICO  
SEARCH AND RESCUE COUNCIL

A Voice for Search and Rescue in New Mexico
​"So That Others May Live"​​

The New Mexico Search and Rescue Council does not coordinate Search and Rescue responses.  Dial 911 if you require assistance.
The New Mexico Search and Rescue Council was founded in 1974 as a non-profit, all volunteer organization, that represents the largest group of wilderness search and rescue teams and individuals in New Mexico.  The council's purpose is to promote the common interest of teams and individuals dedicated to the saving of life and the relief of human suffering during emergencies in the State of New Mexico.  All search and rescue incidents in New Mexico are coordinated by the New Mexico State Police Division under the Department of Public Safety.
Donations are
​tax deductible.

New Mexico Search and Rescue… for the invaluable service they provide the State, its citizens and visitors alike so ‘that others may live’.”
