SA国际影视传媒淭he appreciation (night) was very honourable for the volunteers that take the time and effort to do search-and-rescue on their time. They risk their lives for people that are out on the land,SA国际影视传媒� said Klengenberg, whoSA国际影视传媒檚 now a coordinator, helping to marshal the squad needed when residents go missing.

SA国际影视传媒淭hank you for recognizing us,SA国际影视传媒� she said of the municipalitySA国际影视传媒檚 gesture.

ThereSA国际影视传媒檚 a corps of about eight regular searchers who begin an initial mission but if the search has to be expanded by the third day, thereSA国际影视传媒檚 between 50 and 70 people in Cambridge Bay who can be relied on to lend a hand, said Beverly Maksagak, whoSA国际影视传媒檚 also a search-and-rescue coordinator.
