Level of Response Urgency
Rescue organizations will have multiple water-related calls at the same time.
- Response guidelines will help determine where critical resources are deployed based upon the nature of the incident.
- For example, a family stranded in a vehicle that is surrounded by swift water would be considered a higher priority over a family trapped in their house due to a low-water road crossing.
