Why is it happening?
There is an ever-present risk that a person will go ‘missing’ at a club, regional or national event – be it training for junior surf, surf sports, oceans or surf lifesaving or a carnival or event at the club, region or national level; it is vital every club has a prepared response to this scenario. A missing person can happen incredibly fast and we all need to spring into action both immediately and in a coordinated manner to ensure the best possible outcomes.
