Rescue & Emergency Planning

British Cave Rescue Council
The British Cave Rescue Council (BCRC) was formed in 1967 as the representative body for bona fide volunteer underground rescue organisations in the British Isles. Its functions include representing and supporting its members at National and International level, promoting the exchange of information between member rescue organisations and providing a common voice for them.

OUCC – Expedition Rescue Guide
The booklet was written with the main aim of teaching members of Oxford University Cave Club techniques that may be useful in the event of a rescue, particularly on expedition in Spain. I have now made it publically available in the hope that others will find it useful.

Cave-Link system
Cave-Link is a data communication and measurement system for cave research and mining.
