PubSafe is designed to help rescue people and animals during blue or gray skies. By being more efficient, more rescues can be done, in less time. The PubSafe web portal and mobile app deliver an opportunity for efficiency not previously available to animal rescue groups or animal shelters.

The Sherp ATV is a known search and rescue vehicle. It has been around for almost a decade and was originally designed for operation on the tundra of Siberia. Siberia has a lot of marsh and bog in the summer when the ice and snow melt making it impossible for regular off-road vehicles or even track vehicles. In the colder months, vehicles must be able to travel on thin ice, water or deep snow.

The urgency of the situation was clear, and the Withlachoochee Regional Search and Rescue team, equipped with the PubSafe Sherp, sprang into action. Leveraging fire rescue, search and rescue, and local knowledge, we navigated the treacherous conditions to reach those in need. This is one story that represents thousands, many far more dangerous, executed by government and volunteer search and rescue personnel.
