ESCAPE
ESCAPE or "Emergency Services Council Annual Preparedness Event" is the NMSARC annual statewide conference. Volunteers from throughout the state meet to network and train on all aspects of effective search and rescue. It is held at various locales around the state and usually alternates between the north and south. Our annual General Meeting is also held during ESCAPE. During that meeting, reports are presented and new members to the board are elected. The three-day conference typical includes vendors featuring the latest in search and rescue gear and outdoor performance clothing.
Among the typical training courses offered are: basic search and rescue gear and search techniques, winter survival skills, medical assessment, canine training, Incident Command System familiarization, map and compass exercises, helicopter rescue including landing zone safety, technical rope rigging rescue techniques, field trauma medical training, amateur HAM radio review, mounted rescue techniques, ATV and 4-wheel drive. One of the biggest events that take place during ESCAPE is a Field Certification Exam. Successfully completing this test helps ensure that SAR volunteers go out in the field fully prepared.
