1RSQ was the creation of members of both Missouri Valley Search and Rescue and Four Rivers K9 Search and Rescue in response to both Hurricanes Helena and Milton in 2024. In working to assist with search services it was noted that there was a lack of a central database of volunteer based resources that could come in and help with disaster events such as these. From general Search and Rescue teams to specialized equipment like helicopters, there wasn't a single source that groups could utilize for finding resources to assist.
With the 2 team leaders having more than 50 combined years of Search and Rescue experience, and seeing first hand and speaking with other industry professionals about how scattered resources were in the search and recovery effort, 1RSQ was born. The primary idea for 1RSQ is to bring together the unique and amazing resources from more non-traditional sources primarily based in the private and not-for-profit world.
