Being held in conjunction with Kapiti Branch 69 AREC. The SAREX location will be the Tararua State Forest Park, Reikorangi, Waikanae. The SAR HQ will be at the Kapiti Coast District Council Emergency Management Centre, Fytfield Place, Paraparaumu. We'll be using HF and VHF radio communications working with teams in the field who will be practicing communications, off track navigation, GPS usage, SAR team leadership and team work, SAR procedures, first aid, and day and night search methods.
This is a chance for us to exercise operating and logging skills in a realistic SAR environment, putting that IMAN training to work. It is also an opportunity for new comers to drop in and see AREC/SAR in action. Please contact John ZL4JY on 021 456-042.
