===Action Item Review and Update===
Covered during the meeting.

===Strategic Planning===
A discussion was had regarding the messaging by SAR AB that no insurance coverage will be offered for illness or death occurring from COVID-19 transmission during a tasking. Concerns were raised that smaller organizations are feeling left to come up with policies or procedures with little or vague assistance, during a time of likely tasking.

* '''Action:''' Board will reach out to larger SAR organizations in AB for assistance on developing a policy, and to assist with making a policy for our local group. Nata will contact Calgary SAR. Igor to contact LASARA. Denis to contact RCMP & Waterton.

*Board will be meeting in 2 weeks to discuss findings.

*''' Moved''' by Nick Morantz seconded by Igor Grujic that PCSAR will respond to tasking requests for searches where social distancing (as per AH guidelines) is possible, but not engage in rescues until a policy and procedure for mitigating the risk of spread of COVID-19 while engaging in rescue or first aid is developed and implemented. Carried.

===Adjournment===
'''Moved''' by Igor Grujic, seconded by Nata de Leeuw to adjourn.  
*Meeting was adjourned at 1945.
