Download or read book Guide for Implementing Or Enhancing an Endangered Missing Advisory EMA written by Paul Murphy and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are some cases of missing children that do not meet the threshold for the issuance of an AMBER Alert. The same concern applies to missing persons older than 18, who fall outside AMBER Alert's purview. The EMA was crafted in 2005 to fill this gap. This report describes how a community can establish a task force to create an EMA plan, which creates voluntary partnerships to recover missing persons who do not fit the AMBER Alert criteria but who may be in danger. EMAs help law enforcement notify the general public that someone is missing and ultimately save lives. This guide provides directions for developing, activating, and sustaining an EMA plan and includes sample plans and press releases. A print on demand report.

Amplified with operational examples of the rescue system in action, this previously untold history aims to describe the origins of SAR history in Canada and to further the debate on the continued use of military resources for domestic responsibilities.
