00:00We have a search option here, and what they'll be doing is forming teams together and allocating

00:12the areas of teams, and then if there's a recovery to take place, then we'll call it

00:18a recovery. This person here, and the screens will be available at the moment, they're just

00:22for practice. This person here will be doing the radio commentary. This person here will

00:29be doing the plans. This is a search plan estate, and the search plan estate will be

00:36creating the plans itself, and I've got some plans here, which I've made. That's where

00:41we are. We've got teams out, allegedly, I've created some teams. So we can actually follow

00:53one of those teams as well, with tracking devices. We use thermal cameras quite a lot.

01:01That's when I used thermal cameras, and that was in broad daylight. But you can see people

01:08a long way away with thermal cameras, more so than visually. We use drones. This is a

01:18drone map. This is an airspace map. It's a hub ship. So we have got here, okay, we've

01:27got Southampton Airport, with the subs coming out before landing and taking off. We have

01:37other areas, and if I get the cursor up, we can click on those areas with some handling

01:43As a map, there's one from the side there, so we have to be careful there. We thought

01:50that we were going to be flying a drone. We use drones in services. We used one yesterday.

01:59We work as a whole team. We have 110 qualified search stations. Within those, we have medics,

02:09we have drones, we have high-risk teams, we have a fundraising team, we have search

02:19managers. We all fit in together, and we all come from different backgrounds.

02:26How many rescues do you think you do on average per year?

02:31Fifty-third today. Fifty-third come out of the year yesterday.

02:38Common cause of incident do you think you get called out to?

02:42Dementia, suicidal, autistic, disbonded, and mental health.

02:48That's what we do.
