Every call-out, logged.
We write a short note after each call-out. We never name the people we search for, and we keep the details brief out of respect for their families. By mid-October 2026 this year’s log had reached incident 29.

Not every search ends well
Some of the people we look for are found safe. Some are not found, and some searches end in tragedy. Whatever the outcome, our volunteers give the same care and effort, and our thoughts stay with the families.
If you have been affected by a search, or want to thank the team, you can email us at [email protected].
