Each SLSC should also identify and form an emergency call-out team of at least six SLSC members who may be available to respond (if available) to incidents at their beach and surrounding areas outside of patrol hours and/or in support of an on-duty patrol. Call-out teams include appropriately experienced and qualified personnel who are versed in the relevant SLSNSW procedures and other locally specific requirements.
The SDO or SOC will notify SLSC emergency call-out teams by text to respond with their availability and estimated arrival time to an incident. SLSNSW will also inform them of any training requirements and drills throughout the year.
