At my group, we have a theory evening once a month, in which the team members in turn give a reading about a subject related to SAR. The 30th is my turn and my subject will be 'victim profiles'. I know quite much about psychiatric patients, but that's about it, and I guess (live, so no cadaver) wilderness search will contain more then just that as victims.

This means I'm looking for any kind of information you have. What kind of 'victims' can I tell about, what can I tell about them, things like that... We also do disaster training, so that can be included, a victim profile of disaster victims. But I don't know much about that either. Any information is welcome, as I am quite new to it all. The only real search I have been to (as an observer, so without dog, but with my team) was a psychiatric patient who had run away from home (and hadn't been found in the search).

Thanks in advance for every scrap of information!
