Purpose of report

The purpose of an incident report is to record

  • what happened
  • what were the response factors
  • the outcomes
  • lessons learned, strengths and weaknesses, and areas requiring attention.
  • recommended actions for improving service delivery

The report is used by the Pincher Creek Search and Rescue Society's Board in its governance of the organization. It is used by Pincher SAR in planning and prioritizing future work. Statistics are used to understand trends and patterns. The report is shared with Pincher SAR's Tasking Agencies and partner organizations to help improve future responses.
