work effi ciently as a team to search and rescue their companion. in
the event of an accident, the most important considerations are to:
sTaY CalM, be obseRVeanT, and RaIse THe alaRM.
(1) Determine the search area and last point seen:
How many victims are buried? Are there several companions
ready to engage in rescue? The most experienced person
takes over assignment and management.
(2) Call emergency services:
Dial 112 (EU) if this is possible without losing time.
(3) Establish search areas:
Where are the probable burial locations?
(4) Visual Sweep Search:
Search for the avalanche cone with your eyes and ears.
(5) Search with avalanche transceiver: Switch non-
searching avalanche transceivers in SEARCH-mode. The search
is divided in the following search phases (ICAR 2009):
A Signal search, B Coarse search, C Fine search, D Pinpointing

Watch out for any breathing cavity (air pocket) for the victim.
