To reach the unreachable when disaster destroys the road forward.
Pathfinders Search and Rescue exists to serve people at their most vulnerable moments by overcoming access barriers, restoring connection, and delivering aid when time matters most.
about pathfiders
Pathfinders Search and Rescue is a nonprofit disaster response team founded in September 2024.
We operate in the gap between disaster and access.
When floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, or wildfires destroy roads and isolate communities, traditional response vehicles often can’t reach those who need help most. Pathfinders Search and Rescue is built specifically for those moments—when there is no clear route forward and time matters.
Our focus is simple: reach the unreachable.
our why
Disasters don’t wait for roads to be repaired.
Too often, people are cut off not because help doesn’t exist, but because access does. Entire neighborhoods can be isolated for days while responders work to reopen routes.
Pathfinders Search and Rescue was created to address that reality—by building a team and capability focused on mobility, adaptability, and problem-solving when infrastructure fails.
When others have to stop, we find another way.
