Through education, outreach, and advocacy, the WMSRT seeks to minimize the number of swiftwater and flood related incidents. The WMSRT can support search and rescue operations with the following specialized skills:

•Day and Night Hasty searches of flatwater and whitewater rivers by kayakers and canoers

•Swiftwater rescue and recovery operations

•Safe Management of swollen stream crossings for rescue operations / litter carries

•Downstream safety and rope ferrying to support municipal swiftwater rescue teams

The WMSRT is also available to advise local first response organizations and agencies on proper swift water rescue protocols. The WMSRT will work to develop an educational and outreach program to work with the local communities to minimize the number of swiftwater and flood related incidents.

In Switzerland, Nico Hischier helped rescue a family in distress after their inflatable boat got stranded near a dam.

Hischier joined others in helping the family, with a witness calling his actions “heroic.” 👏

First a big THANK YOU to Flatbread Company, North Conway for hosting our Dine to Donate earlier this week. Thank you also for everyone who came out and grabbed dinner, intended or not - since Flatbread donates a "slice of the pie" so to speak. Thanks also to the folks that purchased 50-50 raffle tix and the gentleman who donated his winnings back to the team. Thanks for all the team members who came out and flew the flag, talked to folks, and shared our appreciation for them coming over for dinner :).

Last - We are expecting 1-2" of rain and the S**o is forecasted to flood tomorrow. Please - like your mom and pop said when you left the house as a 17 year old - make good choices. Higher elevations are expecting slush and snow - it might be a great day to work on that house project you are putting off, or bake cookies, or if your gonna get after it on the river, the rockpile, the woods etc. - plan accordingly.
