Emergency responders deal with complex, dangerous situations on nearly a daily basis. The complexity of even the simplest response demands that rescuers use a repeatable, systematic approach to assess the risks involved at every level of the response - before they leave home, deploy teams, or board that helicopter. Developed in cooperation with the Mountain Rescue Association and the BC Search and Rescue Association. This pocket reference guide is designed to help rescuers assess and mitigate risks the hazard presents and to stay safe as a priority on every mission. This lightweight folding guide is waterproof to withstand rigorous use in the field and is a must-have reference tool for any responder. Made in the USA, profits from the sale of this guide support ongoing training by the National Association for Search and Rescue.
