CSAR
The Colorado Search and Rescue Association (CSAR) is the membership organization of search and rescue (SAR) teams, sheriffs, and others who support SAR in Colorado. CSAR is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that provides a point of contact for SAR matters across the state and represents SAR to governmental agencies and others outside of SAR.
Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue Card
Colorado residents and visitors are well served by dedicated non-paid professional search and rescue teams. By purchasing a CORSAR Card you are contributing to the Search and Rescue Fund, which will reimburse these teams for costs incurred in searches and rescues across the State of Colorado. The CORSAR card is available for $3.00 for a one-year card and $12.00 for five-year card.

Please note the CORSAR card is not insurance and does not reimburse individuals nor does it pay for medical transport.
If you would like to look into volunteering for a backcountry search and rescue team, do a web search for the contact info of your local team, call your local sheriff’s non-emergency number or email us at contact@coloradosar.org.
