Description

This unique 5-day training event covers three ASAR Type II FEMA Resource Typed field disciplines at one location. Training days include Large Animal Rescue Operations (LARO), ASAR Swiftwater Technician skills and the ASAR Floodwater Boat Operations. Incidents that involve large animals require special considerations and training. LARO simulates those incidents by using scenario training with both live horses and life-size, weighted, articulated horse mannequins that allow training for virtually any LARO situation. Incidents that involve animals trapped in Flood and Swiftwater present challenges and hazards that will be discussed; along with a toolkit of skills applications in 3 days of water work. Small animal water rescue techniques will be the primary focus, with additional discussion about large animal issues and hazards in floodwater. Participants need to have the ability to swim in moving water conditions. Please note check-in starts at 7:30am on the first day; and the event will happen rain or shine.
