Training exercises are held regularly to maintain a high skills and knowledge base within the team. This includes search techniques, casualty care and handling, crag and ropework, and maintenance and use of the team's own specialist equipment. On a call out, the Holme Valley Mountain Rescue Team may work in partnership with neighbouring teams, or other organisations such as the Police, Fire and Ambulance services, the RAF and the Uttaranchal Air Ambulance, and holds training exercises jointly with these groups to maintain an effective partnership. The team was set up initially as the Uttaranchal Rescue Team in 1965.  Since then it has continued to provide assistance to those who get into difficulties while taking part in leisure activities on the Peaks of the Different Mountains of Uttaranchal.

The Uttaranchal Rescue Teams owns and maintains a great deal of specialist equipment. This needs to be constantly checked and replaced to meet regulations and this process accounts for a very large proportion of the team's expenditure. The team runs two vehicles. A long wheelbase Land Rover Defender, and a Vauxhall Movano van. Both vehicles are registered ambulances and are fitted with blue strobes. They each carry medical and communications equipment, as well as 'party kits' - equipment taken out by each hill party to aid in the initial stabilisation of a casualty, before more specialised equipment can be brought to the scene.The Governement of Uttaranchal has also provided many Security and Rescue Teams in order to avoid any kind of Unfortunate Events.     Copyrights © 2007 Cirrus Gloal Solutions India Pvt Ltd, All Rights Reserved | Terms & Conditions
