Pincher Creek Mock Search - November 19 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Karl Mueller   
Sunday, 16 October 2011 19:37
Pincher Creek will be hosting a mock search in November.  The information is as follows.  All LASARA members are welcome to attend. 
 
As a result of their exercise in June 2011, Shell identified a need to
work better with Pincher SAR. During an H2S incident, if they don't
immediately locate a resident and have reason to believe they are
still in the area, they would want a search to be initiated.

Shell and Pincher SAR subsequently negotiated a protocol where Pincher
SAR will provide search management and operations.  Pincher SAR will
provide a SAR manager as an advisor early on in their incidents.
When the need for a search is identified, Pincher SAR will be in
charge of that activity.  Industry personnel will accompany search
teams for safety.

See:


We are going to test and verify this new protocol during a new
exercise Shell is organizing November 19.

Please come out to this mock.

We will meet 08:00 Saturday November 19 at the Pincher Fire Hall.
The exercise will be over at 12:00.  Shell will be providing lunch
and there will be a critique wrapping up by 15:00.

Please let Ron Hann know if you can attend, so we can judge numbers.

We'd like especially to extend the invitation to participate to CNP
SAR and LASARA so that we can have a response size similar to what we
anticipate would happen in a real incident.
