Search team "Lisa Alert": why is it called that? “Those we didn’t find are remembered”: three stories of “Lisa Alert” volunteers Search team Lisa Alert VK.

Friends, fellow search engines, media representatives and everyone,

who is not indifferent to the problem of missing children!

It is known that many children disappear every year. We will not cite boring statistics that only the lazy did not quote. What is clear is that now there are truly enormous resources for the rapid search for lost people, thanks to several search and rescue teams that have been formed. But these resources have become difficult to use, because the struggle for the right to be considered the “main”, “largest”, “most popular” search team in Moscow and the region is already crossing all boundaries. People forget about the goal when entering into the struggle for leadership, which discredits the very idea of ​​a volunteer movement to find children. For a long time we did not participate in the general debate, considering it unworthy and frivolous for adults. But recent events They are simply forced to give an answer. To begin with, I would like to tell you how it all began...

And it all began in the forests near Chernogolovka, in June 2010, where many of us ended up by accident. On the auto forum, Yulia (Taiga) made a call for help in finding a 4-year-old boy. The search continued almost around the clock, for 4 days. Then they were lucky and Sasha was found alive. Video: Sasha sits in the arms of Alexander Efimov (YoFA), it was he who discovered him. Pavel Filippovich (Pavel, Rasp) is also seen contacting headquarters to report the situation. In total, more than 500 people took part in those searches. It is difficult to imagine the joy of the searchers when this news arrived, and the feeling with which they returned home. It was then, for the first time, that attempts were made to rally the volunteers into a single unit, but the idea was not crowned with success.

In September, after the terrible fires had burned out and the dense forest had become completely impassable due to rubble, information arrived that 5-year-old Liza Fomkina and her aunt had disappeared in Orekhovo-Zuevo. Active searches began when several days had already passed, but warm weather offered a chance for rescue. Pavel Filippovich (Pavel, Rasp) undertook to coordinate the search. For almost a week, he, together with Maxim (a teammate at the auto forum) and Maria (a family friend) coordinated more than 300 volunteers who worked together with the police and military. They looked for the girl and aunt throughout the city, in the surrounding villages, in abandoned basements and houses, in endless forests and swamps, and even in neighboring cities. The entire Internet was, figuratively speaking, “on the ears.” Little Lisa was discussed on forums and blogs, social networks and psychics.

Communities of all-terrain vehicles, ATVs, dog handlers, a forum for ferret lovers and other thematic resources broadcast information about the progress of the search around the clock, helped with notifications and attracted the media for this. There was only one goal - to notify as many people as possible so that they would come and search. Those who searched in Chernogolovka also arrived and, of course, there were many new volunteers - among them Dmitry (Koleso), who searched at night and returned to the office in Moscow in the morning, and Alexander, the head of a detachment of volunteer firefighters, Dmitry Volkov came with him (bayaga), who extinguished forest fires in this area before the search (now he heads the Polar Star PSO) and Dmitry Lobanov (Okhotnik, Dmitry) with a dog - they were the ones who found the traces of Lisa and her aunt, Masha, and friends, professional rescuers two Igors (Igor-73 and Igor - 107) and many, many, many others! It is simply impossible to list them all! Several hundred caring people who abandoned their everyday lives and rushed to the Moscow suburbs. The auto forum, where Pavel described the chronology of events and attracted volunteers, collapsed from the number of visitors. The well-known LJ wwwHYPERLINK "http://www.13sep2010.livejournal.com/".13sep2010.livejournal.com was opened, where about 20,000 people from all over the globe visited per day. Lisa and Masha were found too late. But that gigantic resonance, those mistakes and conclusions that were made after the search left no other options except the creation of a professional volunteer search team.

It became clear that one of the reasons for the failure of the search was the delay in receiving operational information about the disappearance of children, the disorganization and unpreparedness of volunteers. The newly formed detachment was called upon to undertake the training of volunteers, conducting training, and coordinating searches. Moreover, a team of volunteers has formed who have gained enough experience in conducting search operations. And under pressure from the public and volunteers, Pavel Filippovich (Pavel, Rasp), it was he, and not Grigory Sergeev (Grigoriy) and no one else, who created the “Lisa ALERT” detachment. LiveJournal 13Sep2010 a cry was raised to recruit volunteers for the detachment. Several hundred responses came in, including many who took an active part in the search. Even representatives of show business and government responded. Of course, there were those who joined in the general wave, many simply sympathizers and “onlookers.” The fact that they left over time was not a surprise, it always was and will be so. But, the more dear to us has become that time-tested and experience-tested backbone that continues what it started. So, in memory and thanks to the little girl, the Lisa ALERT detachment arose.

Late autumn and winter is a search lull. There are fewer walks in the forest, less getting lost - an excellent time for training and exercises. Groups were created in certain areas of search, an action plan was drawn up, and general meetings of all volunteers were held in order to develop a unified strategy and the governing body of the detachment - the Council. Large squad-wide exercises were conducted, with the participation of all-terrain vehicles and foot search engines.

In February 2011, the detachment had to go through difficult times. The administrators of the resource (www.lizaalert.org), led by businessman Grigory Sergeev (Grigoriy), who were recruited on a voluntary basis, decided to remove the Council from managing the detachment and begin to manage the detachment independently. Dishonest methods were used: they limited the ability of the detachment leadership and volunteers who disagreed with the administrators to communicate on the forum, disabled personal messages, banned them by IP address, attracted people who had nothing to do with the detachment and never participated in the search. In order to disrupt the general meeting, photocopies of powers of attorney were presented, including from people who had never taken part in the activities of the detachment. Who were these people? And how were such actions supposed to help search for children? Information about the training was deleted, and an entertaining meeting at the recreation center was scheduled for the same date. Slander was spread against the leadership of the detachment, and new volunteers who sincerely did not understand anything and asked fair questions to the admins on the forum most often received a ban. Meetings were held in secret from the rest of the squad members, which were passed off as general meeting squad. When the detachment’s leadership demanded that the administrators resign, he was simply disconnected from the forum. Soon, the initiative group of the forum gathered in a close circle and proclaimed itself the leadership of the detachment. These people did not ask anyone registered on the forum, did not look at the key searchers who did so much for the formation of the detachment. The main activity on the resource now is to attract as many people as possible, which is not difficult to do, given the number of interviews that they give out in the media, using the well-known and honest name of the detachment. By participating in the search, they misinform everyone, for example: the parents of Sasha Stepanov, who disappeared in May in the Mozhaisk region, are sure that he was found by a certain volunteer GriHYPERLINK "http://www.rutv.ru/video.html?tvpreg_id=151120&vid=119500&mid=14&d= 0&p=1"sha, read Grigory Sergeev (Grigoriy), (43 minutes), although it is known for certain and reflected in the investigative documents that the boy was found by huntsman A. Lebedev, who is not related to the search groups. Recently, accusations have been made against us, the organizers of the “Lisa ALERT” detachment, that we are interfering with the site administrators in their, as they say, “common cause.” Of course, we interfere J We don’t give out interviews, we don’t attract the media for self-PR, we don’t conduct demonstration training in front of cameras, we don’t wave flags and we don’t take credit for information about the happy return of a lost animal to the family, but in fact we organize training and training. It’s more difficult for them, knowing that the “Lisa ALERT” squad exists, like entity and the community of search engine professionals, and not as an Internet forum that accumulates caring people around itself, and cannot use this huge human resource due to the lack of a clear and professional organization. It became more difficult for them to appear on television, give interviews in newspapers and magazines, telling how they organized the detachment. Because they didn’t organize it, and this is increasingly coming to the surface. Even more strange is that these people consider themselves entitled to give us instructions and accuse us of registering a detachment, which was publicly announced last fall.

Don't believe what's written here is true? Try asking uncomfortable questions on the lizaalert.org forum and see the reaction. To begin with, within 24 hours your registration will be reviewed and checked to see if you are worthy to communicate on the “volunteer” forum; information about this is posted on the forum. Your question will most likely be erased, and you yourself will be banned or put under pre-moderation. Read old forum topics, for example, the “Activities” section, pay attention to the nicknames of the people who read here. Are we “a squad that exists only on paper”? But it was we who organized the LA, as evidenced by all the early topics created on the forum. The authors of the initiatives conducted and conduct training and lead a real detachment. Only these people are no longer on the site. Moreover, not on their initiative. Try it, there is little time left - what if you have time to read these topics before they end up in a section that is closed to ordinary users?

But the ambitions of such “volunteers” as Grigory Sergeev (Grigoriy) will not stop us in achieving our initial goals and objectives. The team's work will continue. We will conduct training, training, and participate in searches. That's what we've been doing all this year. Despite everything, we are still confident that strength and results are not in quantity and “loudness,” but in quality. We had no intention of getting into a public spat with these people, but the sudden onslaught of accusations from them forced us to tell the truth. And, we remain confident that no matter what the squad is called, the result of its work and the professionalism of the search engines are much more important, and not the number of publications and interviews in the media. We encourage all volunteers to strive for this.

Sincerely, leaders of the MoOO "PSO "Liza ALERT"

I didn’t want to write all this and take all that dirt out, but alas, what is happening around me and those people who worked with me leaves no other chance.
It's no secret that in recent months I have been developing the Lisa Alert search and rescue team in Novosibirsk. Not everything worked out; there were ups and downs. But what's happening Lately in the squad and around it, it simply doesn’t leave me a chance to be in it. It’s disgusting, disgusting from the slop that poured out on us.
Below the cut is the text of the topic that I posted on Lizaalert.org The post did not last even 3 minutes, and was replaced by the moderator with four dots.

As much as it pains me to say, thanks to the behavior and actions of some of my fellow soldiers, I am leaving the unit. This is not a spontaneous decision, it was made thoughtfully and carefully. Ahead of the question, although this may not even be interesting to anyone, I will try to explain why I made this decision. I am extremely unpleasant about everything that happened and is happening during the search for Kostya. That attitude towards people who want to help and do something. Those who break away after work, travel almost 300 km, half of which is a dead road, who were asked for help, who were told that the search was going on around the clock and did not stop for a second. Moreover, people clarify whether it makes sense to travel at night, because... off to work in the morning. They are assured that yes, you are needed there, and upon arrival they are told that they should have arrived earlier, and there are no tasks for you, although I am sure that it was possible to find and come up with a task for them. And now the question is, will these people come to us for the next search? With this approach, I think not.

Nyura, now a specific question for you, what does your statement mean? - I need to find the child! I'm looking for a child here! What, is the rest of the squad blowing up balloons????? Are you looking alone? Oh, well, yes, I forgot the phrase, you all cheated me here. But somehow you are missing one point, that our people also have to work in addition to the fact that they are engaged in searching. We, like you, have slept at most 2 hours in four days. I, in turn, having injected myself with diclofinac, came back to the camp to replace you and Tyoma, since I was misled about conducting the search at night. And what did I hear? What are you up to? Get hurt. Well, since I’m not needed, well, I won’t impose myself.

If you came to help, then help, and not like you did, like step aside now we are in charge here, and you don’t know a damn thing about the AKP.

Explain to me, stupid, why, we agreed with General Kuznetsov to be provided with tents and communications, but as a result, on the spot Nyura refuses all this. And then it’s even funnier: a post appears on the Internet that communications equipment and tents are needed. Well, it’s not logical somehow, don’t you think? Moreover, people came with equipment, ready to establish radio exchange, but they were also ignored. http://nsk-cb.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5084&start=20 13th post on the page. And as a result, Gray flies from Moscow.

So what do we have? And what we have is that with such actions you actually destroyed the detachment in Novosibirsk, and managed to quarrel with all the power structures and associations in the city, stupidly discouraged them from continuing to work. Yes, and my Sunday visit cost me a week and a half in the hospital, but does anyone really care? It’s extremely unpleasant to hear addressed to you after leaving the hospital - well, yes, he doesn’t have a child in the forest, and about the fact that we left the child to die.

In no case am I trying to justify myself in any way, especially since I have nothing to justify myself with. I don’t consider myself guilty of anything. I’m also not going to justify anyone from my team, but the expression addressed to Vitaly Glazkov that he stupidly lies on the couch while the rest die in the field sounds extremely unpleasant. Yes, thanks to him, gasoline was found for the swamp vehicle, and he agreed that the search engines would receive it for free. And the story with the tent he sent is completely out of bounds. Yes, they sent it with a crew from Dobrospass, but so what of that??? So there is no hysteria, we don’t need a tent, etc. And as a result, he got a call and was told that you’re lying and there’s no tent there. Why does he have to break out and come and set up a tent, leaving two small children and a sick wife???? Since Saturday morning, issues with food for volunteers have already been resolved; I personally negotiated with the head of the district and settlement. The only thing I want to say to you is Nyura, I’m sorry that I didn’t die, but stayed in the hospital.

Now for the squad as a whole. Honestly, I don’t understand the hysteria, and I can’t call it anything else, that was created in Moscow. Novosibirsk needs help! Did you ask Novosibirsk whether it needs help or not? What for? We know everything ourselves. Funds that could have been spent on training and training people here on the spot were simply wasted. Oddly enough, due to the lack of people on the search, not a word was even said. Yes, the information group is limping, and on both legs at once. Reposts to third-party resources are absolutely necessary, for which many thanks to information providers from other cities. But again, things didn’t go smoothly here either. On one of the resources, Inforg succumbed to trolling by site regulars and got into an argument with them. As a result, we have a complete negative attitude towards the squad as a whole. Why don’t you shout now at every corner, when people are really needed to comb in Omsk, where, by the way, a 1.5 year old child disappeared.

By its actions, Moscow simply did not help, but rather harmed the Novosibirsk detachment, and actually destroyed it.

I am very bitter and offended to see what was created with trepidation by the people of Novosibirsk, completely destroyed by the extremely thoughtless actions of the Moscow leadership.

The first principle of the Novosibirsk detachment is the equality of all its members, which was simply smashed to smithereens by Nyura.

Nyur, well, it doesn’t happen that there is only your opinion, and the rest are wrong. You begin to reprimand your opponent without giving him anything to answer, so now who doesn’t hear, or rather doesn’t listen?

In all these situations, I don’t see any further point in me being in the squad. And in this regard, I ask you to delete my account from the LizaA lert.org website, as well as remove my phone number from the mailing list.

God grant that the newcomers do not have to experience everything that the 2 previous sets of volunteers of the Novosibirsk detachment experienced.

P.S. It’s strange, but again there was no activity and according to the Barnaul child, 5 years old, who, by the way, was also lost in the forest. Why was there such attention to Kostya????

P.P.S. And we continue to work :) Now we need a little time to restore our health and get back into battle :)

Squad functions

• Operational search for missing persons;
• 24/7 coordinators on duty search work and constant readiness to promptly launch searches with the participation of volunteers, equipment, and rescue equipment;
• Information support for PSO search activities;
• Subjective analysis of rescue operations and assessment of their effectiveness.

Functions of squad members

Working remotely:

• the information coordinator provides the necessary data to the headquarters and directs volunteers;
• the information group disseminates information in the media and attracts volunteers;

The headquarters employs:

• the coordinator leads the search;
• The signalman provides radio communication;
• the cartographer prepares maps of the search area and puts the necessary information on the map;
• duty medic;
• the registrar notes the arrival and departure of volunteers, brought equipment;
• the support group sets up the headquarters and kitchen;

The following work in the search area:

• an aviation group is inspecting the area from the air using aircraft, including the use of a thermal imager;
• all-terrain vehicles comb the territory using special vehicles and transport searchers;
• trackers, check the involvement of traces and things in the lost;

• water workers inspect water bodies;
• seniors lead search groups of 2 to 30 volunteers;
• walking volunteers comb the area, post up orientation cards, and interview the population;

Organization of search activities

Applications for searches are sent to a 24-hour phone number or to the website via a special form. Anyone can apply. This is usually done by relatives and friends of the lost person or by official services. Upon acceptance of the application, a coordinator and information coordinator are determined. Members of the squad are notified using: topics on the forum, SMS and email newsletters, Twitter. Next, calls are made to hospitals. Volunteers notify the search coordinator that they are ready to leave, and vehicle crews are formed. Orientations are compiled and replicated. Information about searches is disseminated on the Internet and in the media. Maps of the search area are prepared and printed. Upon arrival at the search site, contacts are established with the relatives and friends of the lost person, and with the official services involved (police, Ministry of Emergency Situations). A field headquarters is organized, which includes: a headquarters tent, workstations for a radio operator and cartographer, an on-duty medic, a kitchen, and a parking lot. All available information flows to the coordinator. The territory is divided into squares and zones. The coordinator directs groups of volunteers to work in the area, taking into account their specialization. The incoming data is brought together and the surveyed areas are marked. If one information contradicts another, then all possible versions are processed. The coordinator decides which search activities to use in a particular case. Searches are carried out both during the day and, if possible, at night, until the lost person is found. The active phase of searching ceases as opportunities are exhausted and becomes passive until new information appears.

Activity

As of December 2011, applications for 135 missing persons had been accepted. 60 searches were organized. Countless trips were made.

Notes

Today there are two options, two forms of Lisa Alert. The first, best known for the website lizaalert.org, is an online community headed by the elected leader of the detachment, Grigory Sergeev. The second is a detachment officially registered with the Ministry of Justice, exists only on paper and does not search for missing people.
