Arranging virtual tabletop exercises has proven to be an efficient way of sharing knowledge and training across borders.

The idea is to mount a novel low-cost, lightweight and miniature acoustomicrofluidic nebulisation platform onto an unmanned aerial vehicle or miniature autonomous robotic vehicle to autonomously and remotely deliver therapeutics and antidotes via inhalation to incapacitated subjects exposed to hazardous threats rapidly.

Arena to share best practices, evaluation and lessons identified from exercises and incidents

The Department of Public Safety Canada is developing a SAR database to enable common storage of Canadian SAR case data whether Ground, Air, or Maritime SAR, since each area of SAR falls under a different jurisdiction in Canada.

Posted on behalf of Prof. Mike Tipton (University of Portsmouth):  

Predicting cold exposure survival time on land is a very inexact science. The Cold Exposure Survival Model (CESM) (written by Dr Peter Tikuisis) can, I believe,  be used for land predictions, but without knowing much about the circumstances of an accident, it will have very wide confidence limits. 

The VDR Float Free capsule is a combine EPIRB and a storage unit with an EPIRB battery capacity of 168 hours at -20*C. This VDR Float Free capsule can also be fitted with a heating bracket so to protect and reduce iceing.

The idea is to reduce the bulk of the rescue personnel by exchanging the classical swimming fins with foldable, compact fins.

The description of the foldable fin is available at http://www.exofin.pl. Pictures of the product are attached.
