Description
This project is intended to address the deficiencies exposed by the recent surge in search and rescue responses in the Groulx Mountains. Ultimately, the project aims to reduce the number of interventions required per year. It is therefore planned to facilitate communications and tracking of backcountry users, to improve the infrastructure for the coordination of search and rescue operations and to structure user awareness.
Description (French)
Le présent projet vise à corriger les lacunes exposées par les récentes interventions de recherche et sauvetage en forte hausse dans les monts Groulx. Ultimement, le projet vise à réduire le nombre d’interventions nécessaires par année. Il est donc prévu de faciliter les communications et la localisation des utilisateurs de l’arrière-pays, d'améliorer les infrastructures pour la coordination des opérations recherche et sauvetage et de structurer la sensibilisation des usagers.
Expected Results
This project aims to minimize the impact of search and rescue incidents by optimizing the coordination of operations. By providing reliable, GPS-locatable, two-way communication tools to Groulx Mountain users, this project will allow for better assessment of emergency situations and allocation of appropriate resources to resolve them in coordination with the appropriate authorities.
