New England Search and Rescue was founded by Chris Combs of Lincoln, RI, in 2008. At that time, the need for a water search and rescue team became apparent, as no special team existed outside of the U.S. Coast Guard and local emergency services. These public safety teams respond to emergencies in a professional and dedicated manner, however, their ability to provide long term services, is restricted. NESAR was created to assist these public safety agencies with a group of volunteer divers, EMT's, firefighters, police officers, and members of the general public, who would stand by, assist, and deploy teams in the event of an emergency.

In 2010, New England Search and Rescue formed a Board of Directors and moved the organization towards the goal of becoming a non profit agency. In the two years since it's inception, NESAR had grown and participated in many search's in the southern New England area. The need to grow and better organize the team, as well as being able to continue to provide our services at no cost, led to the decision to create the new non profit. The Directors registered the team with the Rhode Island Secretary of State's Office as a Not for Profit Corporation, created a Command Staff, By-Laws, and Standard Operating Procedures. Thanks to the hard work of many, NESAR received it's Federal 501 (c)(3) from the IRS, in March 2011.
