Emergencies
Protocols for Emergencies on the River:
- As soon as a paddler reports that he/she or a bench mate is in distress, the caller will direct one paddler to contact 911 and that person should remain on the line with the dispatcher.
- The caller will maintain calm and focus in the boat and will make a determination with the tiller as to closest safe point where the boat can be unloaded: whether that be tying up to a dock or running the boat aground on a beach.
- When paddlers are safe on land or dock, the victim should be stabilized on a firm surface and compressions begun.
- The caller should direct a paddler or paddlers to possible lookout points to watch for rescue vehicles and direct them to location of the victim.
