The Altadena Mountain Rescue Team, a 501c3 non-profit organization, is staffed by volunteer reserve Los Angeles County Sheriff deputies. The goal of the organization is to save lives through mountain rescue and safety education. Headquartered at the Altadena Sheriffs Station, near the San Gabriel Mountains, the team is operational 24 hours each day, 365 days every year. AMRT is one of eight teams in Los Angeles County which, together, are staffed by 120 trained members.

AMRT wishes a Happy Birthday!
On July 7 2023, after a week of searching, using CalTopo to manage the entire operation, we posted a CalTooo map of a missing person’s route. Two ultra runners had run that route, and called in information to the team that led us to the discovery of his body.
Like all search and rescue teams, we have used CalTopo on every operation- from sending “here’s my location” text messages to victims, to tracking the flights of our UAS’s and tracks of our rescuers in the field in real time, to helping managing evacuations in Urban areas.
It’s an incredibly powerful tool and we could not imagine search and rescue without it today.
