Thread: Big thanks to the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Service and Team

The tasking came through as a broken leg.
The other great thing you did was provide a physical location.
Knowing you were located at the Cedric Creek swing bridge was great.

Next time, I would suggest she communicate directly with the Rescue Coordination Centre as that scenario is their core role.

The other thing worth mentioning is the call for assistance came early. Too many people leave it til night fall to request help and this may well complicate getting there, particularly if there is weather. It certainly up’s the risk to the crews responding after dark.
