A lot of our supporters really enjoy being able to purchase a specific item or make sure their donations go to a project. If that is your preference we have a running wishlist.
If you would prefer to purchase an item directly and either ship it or drop it off to us, below are links to each of the projects and items we are hoping to purchase or replace.
A brief description of the operational impact this would have for ABSAR is also provided.
THANK YOU!
FLIR M400
Marine SAR cases are extremely challenging at the best of times. Luckily FLIR has become an industry standard for operating on the water at night. Installing FLIR cameras on our rescue boats would drastically increase our night time effectiveness as a rescue vessel.
GOAL & COST: $14,995 USD per unit
-Purchase 2 units
-Install on both Rescue 2 & 3..
If you would like to purchase these items and bring them or ship them to ABSAR. there is a direct link to be able to purchase them online. Alternatively if you would like your donation to go specifically towards this item please contact us and we will make sure the funds are allocated appropriately.
Crewsaver Search & Rescue PFDs
PFDs get heavy use and need constant replacement. These Crewsaver SAR PFDs are more durable than the typical type III.
GOAL & COST: $250 USD per unit
-Purchase 20 units
-Distribute evenly between Rescue 2 & 3..
While we are striving for this SAR model for increased durability. If your boat has any Type III PFDs you can donate, we would love to put them into our rotation.
DISASTER RESPONSE LITTER
As we have expanded into a more structured Wilderness SAR capability, our need for more specific equipment has grown. Having proper patient litters for long movements on the beach or trails is critical.
GOAL & COST: $699 USD per unit
-Purchase 2 units
-Stage them at our Falmouth Harbour and Jolly Harbour bases.

Litter Flotation Collar
Our current Iron Duck spine boards are very functional but not very comfortable for patients. Our goal will be to pair these flotation collars with the new litters to increase patient comfort and give us one more tool to increase patient care quality.
GOAL & COST: $802 USD per unit
