I work in my local SAR unit as well and likewise, can say from first hand experience that the above info would greatly enhance the odds of us finding a missing subject if not guarantee it altogether. Unfortunately, most searches start with a vague description of the subject and their whereabouts and this makes it incredibly difficult to pin point the point last seen. If every search had even half the info listed above, our ratios of rescued subjects would greatly increase.
I can also say that the second most important clue aside form the pls would be the what shoes the subject is wearing. A positive ID of the shoe on aluminum foil would be outstanding.
ἰδέτωσαν, ἱστορησάτωσαν οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἄνθρωπον ἀληθινὸν κατὰ φύσινζῶντα.
Videant, cognoverunt hominis hominem verum secundum naturam suam viventem.
Let men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.
- Marcus Aurelius
