It has been decided that, in view of recent actions taken under the LZIR bannner, that a few changes should take place.
These should only have a minimal impact to the operation of LZIR and comprise of the following :-
* There will be more checks carried out prior to anyone being asked to attend.
* There will be a certain, recomended, course of action on attendance to a "shout".
* The first responder will be in charge of the shout unless they wish to pass that responsibility to someone else.
This is to ensure that a concerted effort is maintained.
* Those in attendance will decide on action, if any, to be taken.
* It is recomended that all responders carry a waiver form to be signed by the person being recovered.
It cannot be emphasised strongly enough that although there is now a team of volunteers to scrutinise the incoming data,
this is a LZ thing and anyone can ask Q's of the requester. The primary object being the safety of LZ members that may respond.
Once the initial querying of the requester.... where are you, urgency, type of recovery,etc is answered to our satisfaction,
then local LZIR volunteers will be notified. If any wish to attend, then the shout will be on, subject to and ONLY TO those that attend.
Again, It has to be understood that any prospective recovery WILL ONLY TAKE PLACE if those, attending the scene are completely happy with the circumstances.
The "shout" can be cancelled or postponed at any time those on site decide to do so. THERE IS NO OBLIGATION TO FULFILL THE "SHOUT".
