The Mountain Rescue Association (MRA)
is a national volunteer organization dedicated to saving lives
through rescue and mountain safety education. The California
Region of the Mountain Rescue Association consists of over
20 rescue teams from thoughout the state of California. Majority
of the members are unpaid volunteers who are highly trained.
Accredited teams must meet the high standards of the MRA and
must be re-evaluated every five years in each of the three
search and rescue skills: Search and Tracking, Technical Rock,
and Snow and Ice. California MRA teams not only respond to
search and rescue operations in the unit's area of responsiblility,
but will also respond to mutual aid calls anywhere in the state
to assist other agencies.
