On April 7, training took place in Prince George for volunteers with the B.C. Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA) — including members of the Burns Lake and Houston teams. The day-long workshop involved the mock evacuation of a Prince George neighbourhood using an iPad mapping system shown below.

The event brought together members of nine SARAs and two amateur radio groups. (Chris Mushumamski photos)
