Vehicles
HANTSAR currently operates three vehicles;
- Iveco LWB Hi-Top van converted in to a mobile office providing communications and mapping to our search teams. In addition it carries search equipment, area lighthing, stretchers and first aid equipment.
- Land Rover Defender Utility for deploying teams and kit (Mobile 1)
- Land Rover Defender Utility for deploying teams and kit (Mobile 2)
Mobile 2 will shortly be located on the Isle of Wight.
Equipment
Every team member when they deploy needs to be self sufficient for up to 8 hours.
We provide every operational member with a uniform including waterproof jacket, softshell fleece and hi-visability jacket. This costs HANTSAR around £200 per volunteer.
Base
HANTSAR currently operates out of a storage unit in Netley provided by Hampshire Constabulary.
Ideally we would like to have a small industrial type unit with shutter doors and an office space, however until that point this meets our needs.
