Advanced signal searching for very large avalanches

Searching for buried subjects without a transceiver.

Assigning location and organizational unit-specific leadership tasks may be necessary based on extent of the accident site, complexity of the rescue mission and workload.

Check List for an effective approach in companion rescue.

Precise fine search technique for very deep burials, such as subjects in terrain traps, narrow creek beds, or crevasses.

Understanding  the problems interference can cause, distinguishing a "real signal" from a "false positive" and searching in heavily disturbed areas.

Informacje cyfrowe i analogowe detektora pozwalają prawidłowo interpretować wskazania odległości i poprawnie zbudować "mapę mentalną" lawiniska z wieloma zasypanymi, oraz są kluczem do sukcesu. Poprawne zrozumienie sytuacji pozwala podejmować właściwe decyzje dotyczące najlepszych strategii poszukiwań i ratowania.

Determining optimal length of the Snow Conveyor Belt depending on burial depth and slope angle.

Solving complex multiple burial scenarios during fine search when the digital multiple burial approach has failed.

Solving complex multiple burial scenarios with adaptive alternative search strategies.

Achieving the “Greatest Good for the Greatest Number” when you are short of rescue resources.  Buried subjects in shallow and average burial depth require less resources to be saved and have higher chances of survival. It is advised to prioritize those subjects before excavating deep burials.  Deep burials absorb a lot of the limited resources and the likelihood of survival is lower.

How to achieve “Greatest Good for the Greatest Number” when you are short of rescue resources. Taking into account burial depth, terrain features, trees, and presence of vital data, when defining the sequence of actions, will lead to a higher overall success rate. Buried subjects with a higher chance of survival, who require fewer resources, will be prioritized.

Tasks for managing a rescue operation.

Podstawowy system odkopywania bazujący na działaniu przenośnika taśmowego pozwala na efektywne odkopywanie zasypanych w lawinie nawet po podstawowym przeszkoleniu. Podstawowy system jest zoptymalizowany dla średnich głębokości zasypań. Przypadki nie mieszczące się w tym zakresie rozwiązuje pełna wersja systemu.

By determining the position of the buried subject with multiple probe hits of a probing spiral, it is possible to optimize the starting point and alignment of the Snow Conveyor Belt.  This reduces potential for mechanical injuries and head access times.

Tasks for logistics, communication and equipment management.

The task or responsibility of “probe line search” in organized avalanche rescue includes search tactical aspects as well as protocolling the searched area, managing the resources and communicating with the accident site leader.

The task or responsibility of “Recco search” in organized avalanche rescue includes search tactical aspects as well as protocolling the searched area, managing the resources and communicating with the accident site leader.

The task or responsibility of “transceiver search” in organized avalanche rescue includes search tactical aspects as well as protocolling the searched area, managing the resources and communicating with the accident site leader.

When an avalanche destroys residential areas, or buries vehicles and trains, buried subjects are not equipped with a transceiver or Recco reflector. The search therefore has to focus on generic characteristics and is furthermore complicated by the interference of metal parts and debris.

Procedures for solving multiple burial scenarios with an avalanche transceiver. Taking advantage of the user friendly and efficient marking features is the first choice.  Based on reliable criteria it is useful to determine, when it is time to switch to an alternative search strategy: The Micro Search Strips or the Three Circle Method.

Dodatkowe wyposażenie podnoszące nasze bezpieczeństwo i pozwalające, w przypadku lawiny, na odpowiednie działania.

Istnieje analogia pomiędzy lądującym samolotem, a różnymi fazami w czasie poszukiwania detektorem lawinowym. Konieczne jest zwrócenie uwagi na powiązane ze sobą szybkość i precyzję, oraz na wysokość detektora nad powierzchnią śniegu.

Test grupowy sprawdza, czy detektory lawinowe członków grupy są prawidłowo włączone. Ta systematyczna kontrola zapewnia codzienne sprawdzanie zasięgu, ponieważ test jest przeprowadzany w określonej odległości testowej kontrolując moc urządzenia nadającego i czułość urządzenia poszukującego. Podczas gdy kontrola pojedynczy test grupy sprawdza tylko funkcję NADAWANIA uczestników i funkcję POSZUKIWANIA lidera grupy, podwójny test grupy weryfikuje POSZUKIWANIE i NADAWANIE uczestników i lidera.

When an avalanche destroys residential areas, rescue includes challenges and complexities of avalanche and urban search and rescue. Thus, special considerations have to be taken into account for the efficiency of the rescue and the safety of the rescue mission.

Thus, special considerations have to be taken into account for the efficiency of the rescue and the safety of the rescue mission.

Using analog sound with a modern approach, such as the “sound check” is easy to teach and allows for building up and updating the “mental map” of the rescue scenario based on reliable and instant, “real time” audio feedback.
