The closest Google found (dropping the quotes) was: International Association for Safety and Survival Training (IASST) at http://www.iasst.com/ But IASST is mainly focused on maritime survival and safety. They say they've been around since 1980.

In the US, the The National Association For Search And Rescue (NASAR)[1] is sort of in this direction, but it is on finding those in distress, not staying out of distress.

So, no luck so far, as far as I can see.

[1] Their website ( http://www.nasar.org/nasar ) says:

"Government agencies and non-profit Search And Rescue Teams use NASAR's material and certifications to build credentialing programs for their organizations and produce highly skilled searchers that work within their communities and are available for mutual aid regionally and nationally."
