Code 3 Search and Rescue

Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected from the early morning hours Wednesday through Wednesday night.

Be prepared for rises in creeks and streams, along with renewed flooding issues.

R is for Ropes & Technical Systems.

Creek banks, embankments, and uneven terrain can turn into high-risk environments. Rope systems help manage slopes safely—but the public takeaway is simpler: don’t let terrain quietly escalate.

Pro Tips:
• Avoid steep banks after rain; the ground is unstable.
• Don’t attempt rescues in moving water or on steep slopes without training.
• Call for help early—delay increases risk.

Our teams train for technical environments so we can respond without creating new victims.

P is for Power.

🪫 Phones, lights, GPS devices, and emergency alerts all require power. In extreme cold and heat, batteries can degrade. Keeping devices charged and carrying a small backup can be the difference between a quick resolution and a long search.

Power is preparedness you can’t see—until you need it.

✅️ Pack a small power bank on longer outings. It’s one of the simplest safety upgrades you can make.
