Found, Alive! Notes on the Search Squad Lisa Alert

The forest, where it is so much fun to gather mushrooms in the summer, feels as familiar as one's own five fingers, and the hometown with its streets and squares — small and cozy. Until someone gets lost in it: a loved one, best friend, neighbor, someone's grandmother, or an unfamiliar child. This book is about how people search and find, how they learn to empathize constructively and act even in the most distressing situations. It is both notes from a journalist and a diary of a volunteer from the search and rescue squad "Lisa Alert", which does everything to ensure that the missing person is not lost. What is it like to be inside the search, to be the driving force striving to shorten the distance between the searchers and the person wandering in the dark? Anxiety, bad premonitions, fear, goodwill, and responsibility. All of this is absorbed by one desire — to find the person alive. What to do when relatives do not want to help in the search? Does a searcher have the right to promise something to the family of the missing? Why was the squad created? What motives drive these people? There are many answers, they are very different, sometimes unexpected.
