Badlands Search and Rescue is now, more than ever ready to be deployed with a new command post.
The association has been in operation for over three years and in this time has built a group of volunteers dedicated to serving in a search and rescue capacity when called upon. With a command post, they are ready to set up in the field when called on.
Herman Kloot and Company helped to make the command post possible with a donation of $1,725. These funds were used to purchase the tent, signage, furniture and equipment to set up an operations command post. The sign and markings were produced by Image Crafters in Drumheller.
The operation centre is portable and it all fits in a trailer to be easily deployed in the field.
Badlands Search and Rescue covers a vast area; east to Oyen, and west to approximately Beiseker.
The group of 12 meets for training twice a month.
