Mounted search and rescue

["Jorene Downs" <Jorene@CEOates.com>]

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.
