About This Cause
Who are we? - King County Regional Special Vehicle Unit (RSVU) is a volunteer based, non-profit organization, based in King County - Washington State, specializing in mobile search and rescue operations in terrain that would not be passable by conventional vehicles. With roots in mobile, mountain and ground searches, we have a team of volunteer rescuers, communications and wilderness specialists to conduct and assist active rescue, search and/or recovery missions. Our members - RSVU is 100% made of volunteers that dedicate themselves to serving the communities of King county. The team continually strives to follow the most current rescue methodology and practices in providing the safest, most expedient, and effective rescue operations available. This while maintaining the highest proficiency in search and rescue techniques, wilderness and off-road navigation and operations. RSVU currently relies completely on its volunteers, their personal all-terrain vehicles, their equipment and their time. Our volunteers come from vast backgrounds, are typically members of other King County SAR units as well and represent years of accumulated search and rescue experience. RSVU, under the guidance of King County Office of Emergency management, trains and works together with public safety agencies to ensure that the public is served in the best way possible. Funding - There is a considerable amount of funds needed to run our operational team. These funds covers mostly protective equipment for our team members, required communications gear, vehicle assistance and recovery gear, along with rigorous and costly training courses that are required for WA State core compliance and safety education. As RSVU is a registered nonprofit and is entirely self-funding, the majority of this money is raised through fundraisers and donations.
