[edit] Action Item Review and Update

Covered during the meeting.

[edit] Strategic Planning

A discussion was had regarding the messaging by SAR AB that no insurance coverage will be offered for illness or death occurring from COVID-19 transmission during a tasking. Concerns were raised that smaller organizations are feeling left to come up with policies or procedures with little or vague assistance, during a time of likely tasking.

  • Action: Board will reach out to larger SAR organizations in AB for assistance on developing a policy, and to assist with making a policy for our local group. Nata will contact Calgary SAR. Igor to contact LASARA. Denis to contact RCMP & Waterton.
  • Board will be meeting in 2 weeks to discuss findings.
  • Moved by Nick Morantz seconded by Igor Grujic that PCSAR will respond to tasking requests for searches where social distancing (as per AH guidelines) is possible, but not engage in rescues until a policy and procedure for mitigating the risk of spread of COVID-19 while engaging in rescue or first aid is developed and implemented. Carried.

[edit] Adjournment

Moved by Igor Grujic, seconded by Nata de Leeuw to adjourn.

  • Meeting was adjourned at 1945.
