Cave Rescue Page
Fellow Pittsburgh Grotto Member:
As you know, caving is a specialized activity, requiring distinctive skills and equipment. For this reason, an injury or illness incurred in-cave can easily tax the limits of the average "rescue squad". A typical caver can be of great assistance during a rescue, on a variety of levels. Obviously, search, rescue and medical personnel are front line. But support personnel without formal training are needed as well in every capacity from setting up tents to shuttling vehicles to manning phones and much, much more.
The Pittsburgh Grotto, in conjunction with other Grottos and organizations, is revising its cave rescue callout list. Please consider including yourself on this list and return the printable form to the address noted.
