Lifeboat Crew Exchange Webinar Recordings

As a result of the ongoing challenges presented by the Covid pandemic, the IMRF Lifeboat Crew Exchange 2021, was once again held online.

By popular demand, we repeated last year’s format and broadcast two webinars in what would have been Lifeboat Crew Exchange Week, under the theme “Adapting to New Challenges”.

The first webinar - On Command and Communication – was originally broadcast on 22 September 2021 and the second – On Operations and Training – was broadcast on 23 September 2021.

Recordings of both webinars, including presentations, chat logs and any associated documents, are available to view below.

SAR Matters: Defining Distress Continued ...
