911
Posted: Thu Sep 19, 2013 9:25 pm
what happens when i call 911 in the mountains?
Do I get redirected to a local SAR team?
Who determines if I need to be extracted or if I'm just tired?
Who pays for the services, and how much is it?
I'm asking because I spend time in the mountains but realized I've never thought past the decision to make the 911/SPOT call. Info I hope I never need but I figure it's good to know, and I assume people on SP would have the answers.
