The Preventive Search and Rescue Initiative Inc. (PSAR Initiative) exists to make prevention the first priority outdoors. Our mission is simple: Plan · Prepare · Prevent.

Plan: Encourage thoughtful planning so trips are safe and sustainable.

Prepare: Promote readiness with the right knowledge and gear.

Prevent:

• Prevent emergencies and injuries

• Prevent environmental damage

• Prevent closures of public lands

• Prevent isolation from nature by encouraging connection through the outdoors

We believe prevention is the most effective way to save lives, protect the places we love, and make the outdoors welcoming to all.
