See [[/Tasks]]
-
* 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)

Current revision

PCSAR and Pincher Creek Emergency Services are forming a joint rope rescue team. It is hoped that by having a single team between the two organizations, that we will be able to maintain a level of training and involvement that will allow the joint team to respond to incidents in the mandate for either organization.

The PCSAR board has given approval in principle to the formation of joint team. They will consider a more detailed mandate and budget for the team as they are developed.
