NSR and WVPD are asking for the public’s help. Roy Lee and Chun Lam went snowshoeing on Christmas Day near Cypress Bowl and have not been seen since.  An extensive search of the area provided no additional clues as to their whereabouts. As the snow melts this spring we are asking that the public keep an eye out for any sign of the two snowshoers.  It is believed that the two were snowshoeing the trail to St. Marks on the Howe Sound Crest Trail, but may have got off the trail and became disoriented. It is still believed they are in the area of Strachan Mountain. Their families have provided the below photos of what they were likely wearing the day they went missing. If you do see something please contact the West Vancouver Police 604 925 7300.

At 13.46hr on Wednesday 12th April 2017, UK Coastguard requested the launch of Seahouses Inshore Lifeboat, to bring a lone female back onto Holy Island from the tiny St Cuthbert’s Isle, on the south side of Holy Island. The female had become cut off by the tide and would have had a substantial wait before the tide receded sufficiently for her to cross safely back onto Holy Island. She had requested to be taken off.

At 9.01hr on Sunday 9th April 2017, UK Coastguard requested the launch of Seahouses Lifeboat, following a request for assistance from the lone skipper of an 8 metre sailing yacht, in the Kettle Anchorage, at the Inner Farne Island. The yacht’s propeller had become fouled by the tow line from the yacht’s inflatable  tender (dinghy), so was disabled. The yacht had contacted some rocks but was in no immediate danger.

“The news that the search for survivors from the Stellar Daisy has not yet proven successful is sad indeed. Reports from the Uruguayan Navy indicate that fuel, debris and empty lifeboats have been found but, so far, nothing else. Twenty-two of the ship’s 24 crew members are missing but we always live in hope that a miracle may happen.

Complements rescue dogs to quickly locate survivors

By Tom Timperman, GSSI

Disaster scenes are chaotic and noisy, with rescue teams climbing over collapsed structures, feverishly working to find survivors. Technology can play an important role in the effort, whether the structural collapse is due to earthquake, human-caused disaster, flood or tsunami, mudslide, avalanche, or even urban terrorism. Several options are currently available, but the most effective option is the combination of highly trained search-and-rescue dogs together with ultra-wide band (UWB) radar. Pairing the dog’s dynamic nose with the UWB radar’s ability to see through building materials in determining the approximate distance to the survivor is a huge benefit for urban search-and-rescue (USAR) teams. Already used successfully all over the world, UWB radar would be a great addition to the tools available to rescuers in the United States and Canada, providing current FCC radio emissions regulations can be amended.
