How search and rescue is requested in Wisconsin

Step 1In an emergency call 911. Only the local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction (the county sheriff, or police in a municipality) starts and leads a search for a missing person.
Step 2The sheriff uses local resources and volunteer SAR teams first. If a neighboring county's team is needed, the requesting sheriff asks the other county's sheriff to activate it through mutual aid.
Step 3When local resources are likely to be exhausted or specialized resources are needed, the county, tribe or local jurisdiction asks WEM for state support through the WEM Duty Officer.
Step 4WEM receives and processes the request, picks the best available resource, contacts it, gets an estimated arrival time, and tells the requesting agency the team name and arrival time.
Step 5For aerial searches, WEM convenes the Air Coordination Group on a call hosted by the WEM Duty Officer or the State Emergency Operations Center. DNR and Civil Air Patrol supply aircraft, ground teams, drones and beacon direction finding.
Step 6For missing aircraft the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center is responsible; for maritime incidents the Coast Guard coordinates. WEM 24-hour Duty Officer: 1-800-943-0003; main number: 608-242-3000.
