MED-EVAC PREP Helicopter rotor wash is very powerful and any unsecured items may turn into flying projectiles.
ITEM COMPLETED Secure all loose items on deck Lower and secure sails All onboard are wearing a life jacket The helicopter is likely to approach your boat on the port stern quarter, because it gives the pilot optimal visibility from the cockpit. So unless instructed otherwise, set your course so that the wind is 45 degrees off your port bow Never shine a light or strobe directly toward the helicopter, and never fire flares in the vicinity of the helicopter. Wait for the rescuers to tell you what to do, and then do it.
Typically the Rescue Swimmer will be lowered to your deck first, and the air crew will then send down either a rescue litter or basket.
Always allow the rescue device to touch the deck before handling it. During its flight, the aircraft builds up a static electric charge; anyone who reaches up to take hold of the rescue device will get a shock.
For a high hoist or a hoist in a confined space, a trail line may be lowered first. Deck personnel can guide the rescue device to the deck with this line as long as they do not touch the rescue device itself. Do not tie the trail line or hoist cable to any part of the vessel. Until the hoist is complete, a crew member must tend this line at all times to keep the line from fouling.

The First Aid Kit What’s in it?
We get asked quite often what are the best supplies to have in a first aid Northwest Response kit. The answer is not all that easy as kits can be quite task specific. The Gig Harbor, WA best place to start is to ask yourself “what might I need the kit for?” What are the types of injuries or sudden illnesses I may need to attend Emergency Medical to? And where will you be using the kit? Home, office, car, boat, job site? Response Training Get The Basics + Most kits come with the basics of wound care, but almost all pre-made kits are lacking in one area or another. Off the shelf kits are a great place to start, but are often packed full of items that may never get used (but nice to have) and the available space in the kits leave very little room to add additional supplies.
The Northwest Response EMS Teams kits are shop built from hundreds of items and have evolved over time to load up on the items we use the most. Our EMS station kits come in three sizes, jump-kit (shoulder bag) for fast response, two station kits that are quite literally two large tool box’s jammed full of supplies, and a roll-in-roll out kit for smaller special events.
Northwest Response www.northwestresponse.com 1 May 4, 2018
The Kit Before you buy a kit, bag or case; ask yourself where will your first aid kit live? Does it need to be weather proof? Is space a consideration? Look at the space where you will want to house your kit, measure it and then go shopping.
If you want to build a kit, consider a soft sided one like a backpack. If moisture is an issue, a good waterproof tool box is just fine. Pre-packed refill kits are available for the DIY, or start with a pre-made kit with extra room to add additional supplies.
Compartmentalize Your Supplies When building a kit from scratch buy your supplies first then look for a case or bag to store all your supplies and equipment.
Pack “like” items in sub-compartments within your kit and label them. The choices for clear snap lid box’s are seemingly limitless, and all big box stores carry them in a large variety of styles and sizes. There are also color coded bags available to help with easy identification of “like supplies”.
Will you carry an AED? If you are a remote adventurer like boating; we highly recommend acquiring an AED. Let us know if you are in the market for an AED, and we can certainly help you in your buying decision.
The List We have put together a list of supplies that will help you in starting to build your kit and of course not all of the items are a necessity; your kit will evolve just as ours do.
Remember to take a First Aid, CPR/AED class!
