From PCSAR

Suggestion #18: Suggest having arrangement to call-in when driving alone back from a tiring search (e.g. night search). To confirm safe arrival

Committee handling: preplan

Value to PCSAR mandate: high

Difficulty to implement: done

• • preplan 2009-05-19
    • someone on team should take responsibility to arrange for call-in
• preplan 2010-05-15
  • already policy
  • should practice in night mock search
  • should be on list for search managers
• preplan 2011-11-15
  • focus on issue of driving alone
  • what does the call accomplish after the accident, doesn't address safety issue.
  • if balking from tasking agency, we can rent room and charge tasking agency. Or we can pay out of contingency fund.
  • similar issue if the roads are bad
  • training?
  • everyone is responsible for safety, everyone should feel free to make the suggestion
  • make it really easy for them to stay
  • ultimately it's their call
  • when safety issue is handled, no need for accountability
  • notification on return, only if traveling against safety suggestion to wait
    • alternative can let spouse know when should arrive
  • (review: Brett Wuth) write up as rule of thumb
