assistant: Hello everyone!
Thought I would get this echo going, with a question, rather a request.
In the county I live in, we are going to start a Search & Rescue team,
consisting of:
        Dive team (in the future)
        Search and Rescue
        Vertical Rescue
The team is currently SAR, and Vertical rescue certified, but I was
wondering if anyone had any policies or proceedures they have written in
which I could "look" at them to get some ideas..
Any help greatly appreciated. I can be reached via modem at number
below, on this echo, or via a Fidonet link to 1:274/81 or SafNet
144:2601/212.
Thanks again,
Dave Graham, EMT
