Research Realistic Survival Times

Posted on behalf of Prof. Mike Tipton (University of Portsmouth):

Predicting cold exposure survival time on land is a very inexact science. The Cold Exposure Survival Model (CESM) (written by Dr Peter Tikuisis) can, I believe, be used for land predictions, but without knowing much about the circumstances of an accident, it will have very wide confidence limits.

Maintaining Rescue Centre Business Continuity

As we all wrestle with COVID-19, I hope we can take good notes on how we structured our Rescue Coordination Centres to maintain the watch and protect our team members. As an example, JRCC Halifax moved from a floating schedule in which anyone could work with anyone to a four team approach. Teams remain working with each other during this time of social distancing to avoid cross contamination.
