Since 1982.
SAREX traces its roots to 1982, on a cold, rainy September weekend, when California Rescue Dog Association (CARDA) hosted a multi-agency training event at Folsom Dam.
Inspired by its success, Larry Peabody and Bob Hill of Cal OES envisioned an annual gathering of California's Search and Rescue community. In 1983, SAREX became a three-day event dedicated to sharing skills, knowledge, and expertise.
SAREX has continued to grow and bring agencies and trained volunteers together, building on decades of collaboration, training, and service.
