Do you ever go into small, tight cracks, holes or crevices? If you are a
caver the answer is most assuredly YES!
What do you do when you or someone you are caving with gets stuck? Not
stuck like, “If I wiggle just right or relax then I can get out” kind of
stuck.
We are talking about the “We have tried everything and now don’t know what
to do” kind of stuck, the “Try not to panic ……should we call for help” kind
of stuck.
Do you know how to rescue yourself or someone else from an entrapment
situation? This introduction to extrication will better prepare you to
respond to this situation.
Anmar Mirza, NCRC (National Cave Rescue Commission) National Coordinator,
will be the presenter. Anmar has a vast knowledge on caving and cave rescue
related issues. .
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the beginning of webinar.
All webinars are recorded and stored on the NSS website www.caves.org
