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.
