International Underwater Cave Rescue and Recovery

Comment: Article requires more sources in order to establish notability. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 07:25, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Please find more independent references. Your best bet is probably local newspapers, dive magazines, and public safety journals/magazines. Once notability has been established, you can start filling in other details. When you think you have enough, ping me and I will review. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 17:08, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Comment: articles are based on what independent sources say, NOT what
their own website says. Theroadislong (talk) 20:33, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Note that references do not have to be available on the internet: newspapers, magazines, and books are acceptable if properly cited. Contact me if you need help. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 17:34, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

To be precise, notability is based on what independent sources say, content is based on what reliable sources say, and for some information the organisation's website is a reliable source. However, establish notability first, fill in the details later.· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 11:05, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

The IUCRR -- International Underwater Cave Rescue and Recovery -- is an all-volunteer not-for-profit organization that provides assistance to law enforcement with underwater rescue and recovery operations.^[1] The team consists of Regional Coordinators and First Responders who are trained in the Incident Command system. When called upon, they will work with local law enforcement to develop a rescue or recovery plan and coordinate with qualified recovery divers. The divers must be certified and must be qualified to dive in the specific environment where the rescue or recovery is taking place. IUCRR provides services in the U.S. and internationally, and has performed body recoveries throughout the world^[2]^[3], as well as underwater cave rescues^[4].

All IUCRR team members are taught to treat every recovery as a potential crime scene. Search and recoveries (as well as rescue's) are coordinated with the law enforcement official on site. Although many law enforcement organizations have public safety divers, they are typically not trained for anything other than open water diving. The IUCRR offers trained and experienced divers to perform the overhead diving portion of a rescue or recovery.^[5] Also, it is generally expected that the IUCRR provides public reports of incidents, ^[6] many of which can be found on the IUCRR website. Incident reports are published when available, but the IUCRR makes no assessments about the cause of an incident^[7].
