[[2011-06-11 Lethbridge College]] meeting discuss rope rescue at wind turbines
+
PCSAR
 +
* Self Rescue (1 / 10 yr)
 +
** Searches often include steep areas where a searcher could potential have a mishap and require rescuing. Although searchers are trained and directed to avoid these hazards, PCSAR is better for having self-rescue capability should such an mishap occur.
 +
* Wilderness low angle (1 / 5 yr)
 +
** A rescue occurs in a remote area where a person needs to be stretchered over low-angle terrain.
 +
* Wilderness high angle (1 / 10 yr)
 +
** A rescue occurs where a person needs to be extracted from a steep slope or high-angle terrain. Stretcher may not be necessary, but the person cannot move safely without rope.
 +
* Caves (1 / 5 yr)
 +
** The Crowsnest Pass is a prime area for novice and skilled cave trips. Many rope rescue responders are required inside the cave and possibly outside it. Typical responders are CNP SAR and ACRO. PCSAR could assist.
 +
* Avalanche (0)
 +
** Avalanche response are unlikely to require rope rescue skills
-
See [[/Tasks]]
+
PCES
 +
* accessible embankment (2 / yr)
 +
** person or vehicle down embankment. Low angle techniques needed to safely extract.
 +
* high angle (1 / 5 yr)
 +
* bridges (1 / 3 yr)
 +
** A vehicle goes off a bridge deck and patient requires vertical raise.

 +
 
 +
* Team Leader level: 3
