2024 Wyoming Search and Rescue Conference 

In April 2024, the Jay Kemmerer WORTH Institute and the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation convened the first annual Wyoming Search and Rescue Conference in Casper, WY. As part of the 2024 Wyoming Outdoor Recreation Summit, this event provided a space for Wyoming’s Search and Rescue community to come together and discuss issues, review updates, and network. This event had great attendance and generated momentum for continued conferences. 

Wyoming SAR squads are crucial to consider alongside the growth of outdoor recreation in Wyoming. An integral cog in the outdoor recreation machine, Wyoming SAR squads work to keep residents and visitors safe in the outdoors, providing vital medical aid and lifesaving services. As Wyoming industry groups and decision-makers work to increase the size and scope of the outdoor recreation and tourism industry, it is important to consider the shoulders on which the industry’s vitality rests and to support the valuable contributions of county sheriffs, SAR commanders, and SAR squad volunteers.
