Keweenaw County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula has become a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Now, the county might create a search-and-rescue team.
The move comes after two people stranded for hours on Porter’s Island during a recent storm were rescued.
Sheriff Curt Pennala says any plan would probably include some training with staff at Fort Wilkins State Park in Copper Harbor.
He would like to find groups of people around the county to increase efficiency.
The sheriff says rescues have increased as more people explore Keweenaw.
The county has Sea-Doo personal watercraft and a police dog.
