CSAR is a non-profit volunteer search and rescue group dedicated to providing assistance to lost or injured persons in the out-of-doors.

When called upon, they provide communication and trained ground searchers as the situation requires. If a search and rescue emergency arises, CSAR's services are available, free of charge, 24 hours a day through your local law enforcement agency or the Virginia Department of Emergency Operations Center.

CSAR is a state resource and member organization of the Virginia Search and Rescue Council, an advisory group to the Department of Emergency Management.
