Your SLS state centre may require you to sign on with SurfCom at the start of patrol over the radio network, SLSA Operations App (Apple Store or Google Play) or Lifesaving Incident Management System and Operations Control (LIMSOC). Check your SLS state centre SOPs regarding the method of sign on.
Possible information required for sign on includes:
- Beach status—open or closed
- IRB status—operational or not
- Patrol status—number of patrolling members.
Note: Provide a reason if the beach is closed, e.g., dangerous surf, carnival, marine stingers.
