Hello, Cave search and rescue (SAR) requires special training. Most states have more caves than the pubic and emergency responders are aware of and they can become accident sites or forensic crime scenes. No two caves are exactly alike but the SAR methods used are similar and adaptable. Many emergency responders are effectively trained in first aid and first response emergencies; however, most have not had training in cave SAR. The University of Central Oklahoma is offering a workshop for those interested in acquiring training in SAR in a unique environment - a cave. We have invited Tom Bevis (see attachment 3) to lead this hands-on workshop in cave rescue. He has worked with Carlsbad Caverns and emergency response agencies in New Mexico and other states to help coordinate SAR missions. Attached (5 attachments) above is a Introduction (1) to the two day workshop, an Application (2), additional information about Tom (3) and Waivers (4 &5). The class has to have a minimum of 10 to be offered but we will limit it to no more than 30 participants. The cost is $300.00. The money will cover Tom and his crew's travel expenses, their honoraria and overnight accommodations (including meals) at the Selman Living Lab. First day classroom activities will be held at the University of Central Oklahoma Selman Living Lab located near Alabaster Caverns State Park (map is in the Introduction Attachment (1.) above) and the second day will be spent in simulated rescue events in a wild cave at Alabaster Caverns State Park. We invite you to attend or send a representative from your organization who can become the "go to person" if a cave SAR need arises. Examine the attachments above and contact me if you have questions. If I cannot answer the technical ones, I will let Tom address them. The slots will probably fill fast. We already have five who indicated they are coming and they just heard of the workshop as I was planning it.
