This water rescue section covers rescue techniques used when rescuing people from flood waters, rivers, fast flowing drains or aqueducts and surf beach operations. Sometimes rescue services used IRB's or FRB's while others may use ropes and other such techniques.
Water can be very powerful - be very careful when operating in bad conditions or fast flowing water.
Includes links to water rescue organisations such as Coastguard, Surf Life Saving and inland rescue authorities. In the spirit of helping others, Lifesaving Resources is now sponsoring a page dedicated to sharing lifesaving information. You can join in the discussion by commenting on the articles or by adding your own thoughts on the bulletin board page. Very good page. South Africa's National Sea Rescue Institute is a fully registered company, not for gain.
