Our team has always been a dive rescue team but recently our commanders realized that were were getting called for any type of water rescue situation. While we do have some gear like PFD's, Helmets, Ropes and rigging etc, we have never done swiftwater training. Our Board of Directors decided they wanted us to have swift/flood water rescue capability which we could offer to our departments similar to our dive team capability. I am looking for good sources of information on all aspects of swiftwater rescue from training, equipment, SOP's etc. I have found some good training and equipment sites but the team information does not seem to be as abundant. I would really like to find a forum similar to this forum to get ideas and share information.
If anyone has any good links please pass them along.
Thanks,
