#adventuresmart — Public Fediverse posts

Last weekend was an unprecedentedly busy one for LDSAMRA, as the Summer holidays started for many across the UK, with multiple deployments from 9 of their 12 teams, Helimed 58, Coastguard 199 & RAF Leeming. Help them by being #ADVENTURESMART.

"But wait, Scott, I thought the AdventureSmart Webinar Series was about Search and Rescue??"

... it is!

In many places, local Search and Rescue members are often tasked to help out during evacuations -- to spread the word, direct traffic, help the vulnerable, and rescue those caught in a tough place.

By training people to be ready for an emergency we're reducing the number and severity of tasks during a disaster.

You can help by registering, viewing and boosting!

Reposting my #Introduction post to my new handle:

I'm Scott, I live in #PortMoody, #BritishColumbia, #Canada and work in #Telecom & IT.

I go #Hiking every weekend and #Camping most weekends (yes, #Tenting, yes even #WinterCamping). In the #Winter you'll find me #NordicSkiing ( #CrossCountrySkiing ) and #Snowshoeing.

I also volunteer with #SAR (#SearchAndRescue), #Adventuresmart, and #EmergencyManagement organizations as a #Preparedness instructor.

Why are British Columbia Wildfires so bad this season?

That question was answered in 60 seconds on one of our BC #AdventureSmart webinars a few weeks ago:

The whole video is worth watching, lots of information on weather, wildfires, and great #TripPlanning tips for adventurers!
