Description

This unique 4-day training event covers three ASAR FEMA Resource Typed field disciplines at one location. Training days include: Large Animal Rescue Operations (LARO), ASAR High Angle Ropes and Rigging, and ASAR Floodwater Boat Operations. Incidents that involve large animals require special considerations and training. LARO simulates those incidents by using scenario training with a life-size, weighted, articulated horse mannequins that allow training for virtually any LARO situation. We will build on the rope skills learned during the LARO to transition to ASAR High Angle ropes and rigging, focusing on skills needed to rescue companion animals in high angle rescue scenarios. Incidents that involve animals trapped in flood water present challenges and hazards that will be discussed during the ASAR Floodwater Boat Operations, 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 May 13th, 2025; and the event will happen rain or shine.. .
