After its inception in 1979, the NSSs National Cave Rescue Commission 9NCRC) quickly developed into the foremost authority for cave rescue techniques and training. In this webinar, you will learn about the NCRC, and it's value to you as a caver. * Find out way the number of major cave rescues has decreased. * Learn how cavers conduct "self rescues" and take care of problems themselves, so full blown rescues aren't required. * Discover how NCRC trained cavers can reduce the impact on caves when a cave rescue is necessary. Every person involved with the NCRC is a volunteer, and NCRC courses attract a wide spectrum of students, including cavers and members of first responder units in cave-rich regions. The NCRC conducts several courses, including an annual workshop that offers eight days of the best training knowledge, and experience available for cave rescue techniques and equipment. The NCRC was chartered by the NSS as a training and resource coordination body and as such has become the premier cave rescue training organization in the world. Anmar Mirza is the national coordinator for the NCRC. He spent ten years as the Central Region NCRC coordinator and has been an NCRC instructor since 1995. He is the editor and contributing author of the second edition of the Manual of US Cave Rescue Techniques.
