Task · part of 6. Expedition planning: the eight steps everything else runs on
6(f). Safety, first aid, and getting someone out
Required Often forgotten
Procedures including planning for medical evacuation, plus identifying the hazards the expedition could meet and how to prevent or avoid them.
Notes and warnings
Note. Medical evacuation planning is named explicitly here, and it is the step most often skipped in a school-project-style plan. Requirement 7(c)'s SAFE Checklist walk-through will come back to it.
