Every emergency responder needs
to have a copy of this tough, waterproof 4X6” guide
handy. Made to fit in a pocket, a glove compartment or a
emergency response pack, it’s the ultimate (and
only) field reference to swiftwater rescue.
In addition to the new material, the Swiftwater
Rescue Field Guide still covers topics like basic
rescuer safety considerations, river hydrology,
equipment, shore-based, boat-based, and in-water rescue
techniques; knots, rigging for river rescue, helicopters,
incident command; and special situations like low-head
dams and flood channel rescues.
If it’s been awhile since you took your
last swiftwater rescue course, you’ll appreciate
having this handy pocket reference!
