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 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 tasked: Brett Wuth) write up as rule of thumb
