The charitable wing of the Coquille Indian Tribe has donated $8,055 toward new equipment for Coos County Search and Rescue Inc.
In a press release, the Coquille Tribal Community Fund announced the grant, which will enable CCSAR to buy "24-hour backpacks." The bags contain items required by state law for the safety of both searchers and victims, including a compass, flashlight, pocketknife, nylon line, grid ribbon, water flasks, a one-day food supply, fire kit, first-aid supplies and a tent.
The agency also won a $10,700 grant in June 2003 from the Meyer Memorial Foundation to purchase communication and navigation equipment.
Founded in 1974, CCSAR is a volunteer, nonprofit corporation whose members assist the Coos County Sheriff's Office in search and rescue missions.
