Task/List/Determine protocol for ARRC numbers

Details
Janet,

Can you check where we are in getting in writing what we're supposed to do in getting ARRC numbers?

Supposedly we need to register meeting and searches with AEMA through the ARRC in order to have WCB coverage. However I don't think anyone in Pincher SAR has received the details in writing of what exactly we should be doing. I believe we've only received directions verbally or 2nd hand.

For instance, what events need to be registered? Can a search be registered during or after the event? What are the consequences of not registering? When we next have a WCB claim (as we almost did with the mock search), getting these details right will be important.

Ideally we should be receiving a letter from AEMA, the Fire Commissioner's Office, or SAR Alberta that lays out all the requirements.

If we know what we must be doing, we can make sure we are accomplishing that. We need this information both for the Preplan Committee which sets up procedures for Search Managers and also for the Training Committee which schedules lots of events. My guess is that we may not currently be doing all that we need to.

I brought this up a few months ago and the board said they were going to get the information. I haven't heard anything yet.
