WHY DOES MOUNTAIN RESCUE TYROL NEED SUPPORTERS?
Mountain Rescue Tyrol is a rescue organisation organised as an association for alpine accidents. . Every mountain rescuer has to undergo an admission procedure and basic training to ensure that their physical and technical abilities are guaranteed. . And despite voluntary membership, ongoing training is an obligation for every mountain rescuer.
Before use, it must be ensured that the necessary materials are not only available but also in perfect condition. Whether this is the expiry date of a bandage or the number of uses and age of ropes, carabiners, harnesses etc. or the roadworthiness of the emergency vehicle – all of this must be constantly checked and kept ready for use.
The administration of the 91 local offices, the 4,600 members and the almost 3,000 operations, as well as the basic training, cannot be carried out on a voluntary basis due to the enormous amount of work. That is why there is a team of employees who take care of this. That is why there is a team of employees who take care of this.
To finance all of this, the pure operating funds are not enough. This is why the mountain rescue service relies on the support of sponsors. Despite generous support from the state of Tyrol, mountain rescuers still have to finance their own equipment and the local centres are dependent on additional donations from local authorities, tourism associations and patrons in order to maintain the necessary operational capability.
