cave rescue

Who can recommend a source of information for cave rescue?

Bill,
Use a search engine (I tried metacrawler.com)and search for "cave rescue." I found 41 hits; more sites than I had time to visit. Seems there are many very active Cave (and Mine) Rescue Teams and Organizations out there.

Howdy again billy, Have you tried N.A.S.A.R,I think they are at www.nasar.org, they have alot of info on specialzed rescue and training standards for cave/wilderness confined space. They can hook you up with a set of training standards too.

Here are some pages that might help you the fist is my cave rescue team's home page. http://www.angelfire.com/md/resqu/index.html
You can find the other links listed below and some pics of some of the caves we've done.

This is for N.A.S.A.R http://www.nasar.org /

And this is for the Ntl Speleologic Society http://www.caves.org/defaultjs.htm

Hope this helps.
