Ironwake Search & Rescue Foundation is a DBA of I Am Stage 4 Foundation and is currently in development. We are not yet an operational search-and-rescue organization; we are building the equipment, technology, training, procedures, and partnerships required to support future maritime search-and-rescue and emergency-response capability.
Our founder is a U.S. Coast Guard veteran and a current member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary who is completing Coxswain training. Ironwake is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, authorized by, or part of the U.S. Coast Guard or the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
