All,
I'm serving to help develop the US National Water Safety Plan. Our group, along with others, is conducting an environmental scan to gather information. Your suggestions would be invaluable.
1) Would you recommend or provide literature about water rescue techniques or water rescue response recommendations for the layperson and the bystander?
2) Same question but for professional water rescue services.
3) Same question but for non-aquatic emergency response groups that may add water rescue to their services.
(e.g., fire departments., police depts., parks services, volunteer emergency groups, etc.)
4) Can you point to nation-wide water rescue recommendations?
Literature types: anything from manuals, research articles, legal regulations, studies, standards documents, etc.
If you have files that can be distributed, please message me to send to my email.
Some focus areas are: boat-based rescue recommendations, in-water rescue recommendations.
Thank you.
Be safe,
Rob
