National Park Missing Hiker Report

When someone goes missing on the trail, every minute counts. This National Park Missing Hiker Report form helps park rangers, search and rescue teams, and emergency responders gather critical information quickly to launch an effective search operation.

Designed for national parks, state parks, and wilderness areas, this form captures essential details about the missing person—physical description, last known location, trail information, hiking experience, equipment carried, and emergency contacts. By standardizing the intake process, park staff can assess risk level, prioritize resources, and coordinate multi-agency response with accuracy and speed.

Paperform makes emergency reporting faster and more reliable. This form can be embedded on park websites, shared via QR codes at trailheads, or accessed on mobile devices in areas with limited connectivity. Conditional logic tailors follow-up questions based on urgency and circumstances, while instant notifications alert the right teams immediately. Submissions sync seamlessly with incident management systems via Stepper workflows, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks during a time-sensitive operation.

Whether you're a park ranger, public safety officer, visitor services coordinator, or emergency management director, this template gives you a professional, mobile-ready tool to improve response times and potentially save lives. Start with this template, customize fields to match your park's protocols, and integrate with your existing communication and dispatch systems—all without writing a line of code.
