Lost Person Behavior

I use this app as a complement to the book. It's great for SAR personell in general and search planners/leaders in particular. It contains all of the subject profiles from the book along with the statistical data. The interface is a bit crude but it works, especially after the last updates. A wish for future versions would be to add more chapters from the book, i.e lost person strategies.

There is nothing out there like this. Strong recommendation. Used several times to find people.

I am a volunteer for a search and recovery group and have participated in nearly 100 searches. I read the book, found it useful but not convenient. The app is always with me and easy to check. A year or two ago I was frustrated after a search, bought this app, then compared its ideas to two recent searches. The app was spot on, and likely would have allowed us to find the remains in half the time. I have since recommended it to other searchers and iits nearly a standard piece of equipment.

The information is great. Reviewed in case studies after searches. However, this could be much more useful if you could input data and build a victim profile that can be shared among your SAR team. Please make this more utilitarian.

A great tool with the core information you need in the field. It should be seen as a “always with you” complement to the book. This is not a replacement for the book, which has much more than the subject profiles. Get the book, take the class (if you can), then get this app if you are a SAR operator.

The book the app is based on is great and very useful. The app provides the same info but in a less user friendly format. I figured for $10 I would be able to enter real life search info in and get charts or maps with search info. Buy the book or the app but not both. I definitely feel like I wasted $10. Luckily I appreciate the work that went into the book so I'll chock it up to money donated to a good cause.

As a search and rescue instructor and practitioner I can't stress enough the importance of understanding LPB. The LPB course is outstanding and the LPB book, and now the app, are an invaluable tool for those in the search and rescue and law enforcement field.

I do not know who to engage and how to usefully organize information so that my lost children can be rescued. Bottom line: I have found nothing but frustrating dead ends in my attempt to rescue my children.

Has everything I need
