We used some high tech yesterday to locate the subjects of a search, but the real credit goes to calling for help early!
I got a first look at the BCA Tracker 3 Avalanche Beacon last week.
The new BC Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA) web site provides excellent information on how SAR works, groups in BC and resources for SAR volunteers.
Live tweeting Boston police scanners interfered with the investigation. Compared with an incident last summer. Scanning SAR frequencies has similar effect.

I put together a proof of concept to put the Canadian Avalanche Centre’s Avalanche Bulletins on an interactive, full screen Google Map.
I prototyped a map for the BC Search and Rescue association and I’m expanding the project to include any Search and Rescue Team.
