  • This Field Guide was compiled with the wisdom of over 250 years of experience from Swiftwater, Flood and Surface Water Technicians that are also involved in the Fire Service, Law Enforcement, Rescue Institution, as Flight Medics, Search and Rescue Leaders, and the Military.

The information in this field guide must be accompanied by appropriate training! As we all know, competence and good judgment takes training, experience and practice!
