Moroni Burton, Madison County Deputy Sheriff was the guest speaker. He
spoke on search and rescue and what to do to avoid problems when
riding your ATV. The following are some of the issues he emphasized.
- Know your equipment capabilities, limitations and the area you plan on
riding.
- Tell someone where you plan on going and what time you expect to return.
- Carry water and appropriate clothing.
- Don't ride alone.
- Take along some bug spray and sun screen.
- If you become lost or disoriented stay put, build a shelter if weather
is bad. Weather, time of day and time of year are factors that
contribute to becoming disoriented.
- Food is not critical, but having granola bars in a zip lock bag is a
good idea. You can use the zip lock bag to keep your cell phone dry.
To become a volunteer with search and rescue you need to fill out an
application with the Sheriffs' Department and have a background check.
