What affects supply - overview

Page updated: 7 January 2021

This section explores 4 key areas that all impact on the "supply" (or delivery) of Search and Rescue (SAR) services. 

These are:

1. Volunteering (a deep dive)

2. Training

3. Technology

4. Funding

Of course many of the trends described in the 'demand' section of this scan are also likely to impact on supply. 

For example trends in time use and changes in economic fortunes are likely to impact on volunteering and funding for SAR services respectively.
