Revision as of 22:48, 19 October 2010
Suggestions coming from the August 24, 2010 critique regarding the 2010-08-04 Quad incident and the 2010-08-18 Table Mountain incident.
Pincher Creek SAR routinely performs a critique after a Search and Rescue incident in order to learn what should be done differently or the same in the next similar incident. Critiques are not about criticism but rather about learning. They are normally chaired by a Search Manager that was not involved in the incident. The suggestions that are brought forward through the critique process are presented in this report.
