The information in this Lost in the Woods programme is based on the material from "Lost in the Woods" by Colleen Politano. |
Lost In The Woods is part of the public awareness programme that we at ERSARA help provide to the communities of Alberta. Preventative Search and Rescue (PSAR) begins with providing you and your child safety education. Sometimes vacations take families to remote areas to camp, picnic, hike, fish etc., where it is easy for a child to get lost. This educational course will help prevent these situations from occurring, but will also give children the proper tools to deal with these situations if they occur.
The programme is extensive, and includes how to make a survival kit, rules of survival if alone or with someone else (even a pet), how to keep warm, where to wait to be found, where to get water, and how to attract the attention of searchers. It also stresses to children that there is no punishment for getting lost, so they should not worry about getting into trouble. Children receive a brochure full of information and a certificate after completion of the programme.
