Does anyone else look at the weather and anticipate a busy winter and spring for water / swiftwater rescue? Lots of rain and snow! Lots of potential for flooding now from rain or later from snow melt.

This looks like a very good time for a refresher course for all SAR teams on their swiftwater safety training so they can safely assist from the bank, and also be safer in the field for evaluating a possible water crossing.
