This collection of map problems and activities started as an activity guide to the Lost Person Behavior class. The goal of the course is simple – help locate missing search subjects faster. The faster they are found, the smaller the number of resources needed and most important of all, the better the chances of being found alive. Looking in the right place is the cornerstone to every successful operation. This overall goal is not unique to just the Lost Person Behavior class. While each exercise has a specific objective relevant to the overall course, the exercises can also be used outside of the Lost Person Behavior class. Instructors are always looking for new map problems and instructional aids. This book provides 34 different activities designed to improve everyone’s ability to determine the right place to look.
