After Action Review
SPOT Dispatch (IERCC)Lack of clarity, incomplete informationLack of familiarity with data outputNo better than a 911 hang up with some coordinates
IndividualNot preparedFailed to recognize altitude sickness symptoms
Responsible PartyCommunication barrier
SPOT login – data easily exported and accurate!

Take-home Points
SPOT Dispatch Represented as a professional dispatch Did not perform well
SPOT ConceptWill it work in all of our terrain?Is “911” really a 911?False alarms, would-be self rescues?Unnecessary risk taking?SPOT & Education role (for user and friends/family)
![Page 22: SPOT & Yosemite Search and Rescue 2009 Case Study & AAR](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a16ea55034646638b45f8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What’s Next
NPS and California protocols?When does it get treated like a 911 phone call?
Help activation versus 911 activation 911 activation + no movement 911 activation + no movement + 911 call from friend/family
with login information
Communication with SPOT Get login information as soon as possible GEOS versus regular package? Jurisdiction?
