The Allegheny Mountain Rescue Group is an all-volunteer Pittsburgh-based Search and Rescue team that includes ground searchers; search K9s and their handlers; drone operators; rope, cave, and swiftwater rescue technicians; and emergency medical providers. AMRG is an accredited member team of the Mountain Rescue Association, the Pennsylvania Search and Rescue Council, and the Appalachian Search and Rescue Conference, and we are part of the Allegheny County Child Abduction Response team. AMRG serves Western Pennsylvania and the surrounding states, and we are requested to assist in searches about 50 times each year.

Becoming a search and rescue volunteer is a wonderful way to build your outdoor skills and give back to the community. Come meet members of your local SAR team to hear more about the work we do, get your questions answered, and find out if you would be a good fit for our 2026 New Member cohort!
