Whenever a friend or loved one is missing, call 911 to alert first responders (police and fire departments or park rangers). The public safety officers may notify AMP to request specialized medical care as needed. Only after calling 911, should you call AMP's Emergency Response Number (443-815-4267) for further advice and support. You may also ask the authorities to contact us.

There are no costs to the services that AMP provides. AMP is a 501.c3, nonprofit organization that benefits from donations to purchase life saving equipment, to train members, and to provide education and outreach to the community. Consider making a donation today.

Organized events with people congregating together within a designated geographic area are often referred to as a mass gathering event. When held in the wilderness and austere environments, these events take on additional factors that must be considered to ensure the safety of all involved. AMP is especially trained for these types of events. Our services include pre-planning, scene safety, specialized emergency medical care, logistical and communications support, and interface to the local emergency response system. Examples of wilderness mass gathering events include: Orienteering competitions Mountain bike races Long-distance hikes Youth events (Junior ROTC Orienteering Competitions, Boys Scouts Orienteering) Adventure race competitions

AMP will scout the route and sites in advance of your organizations's fundraiser or team building event - whether it is a hike on a trail or an orienteering competition. AMP will identify key locations where medical support may be necessary or where plans may go awry. In addition, AMP will provide pre-event safety information to all participants, search & rescue support if someone becomes lost, and follow-up via an important de-briefing after the event has concluded. You will also find AMP Members cheering you on throughout your event and celebrating with you when you finish. AMP becomes part of your team. Contact us today to begin planning your event.
