1) Check all ditches, embankments, stream banks and culvets. Call out her name too in case she is incapacitated.
2) Check all bushes, brush and long grass.
3) Check under your deck, in sheds, along the garden perimeter or any other place a person may go. Ask your neighbours to check their properties.
4) Check all bush areas, reserves and walkways near your property. Take a walk around the block. Most people have bushy areas near them that they are not even aware of!
5) If searching the beaches, check along the shoreline, look out to sea. It is a good idea to have a good pair of binoculars for this.
6) Do not go out looking alone. Please take a buddy with you and let people know which area you are searching in. Do not take risks – the SAR people are trained for this. We do not want any other people to go missing or be injured!
7) Make sure you have your mobile phone with you.
8) Please do not go to the SAR buildings or police stations for updates or asking to help. Updates will come in due course and they have a co-ordinated search underway. Any updates will be posted on here.
You can help by being vigilant when doing your own searching, as well as making sure your property has been thoroughly searched.
