KISAR has been proud to work with the USCG Air Station Kodiak for years to extend their reach and effectiveness in non-maritime SAR cases. As part of an ongoing training coordination effort, KISAR is offering avalanche awareness, snowpack assessment, and avalanche rescue training to pilots and rescue swimmers. The first phase was a 3-hour seminar at Hangar 3 to demonstrate the theory and use of avalanche transceivers in an avalanche rescue scenario.
