Lessons learned from the Kim family tragedy
December 18, 2006 - 3:06am — Michael KisorChris Vardas alerted the Neighborhood Emergency Team Leaders to this Oregonian article: Confusion hampered search for Kims. As i read it, it became clear that only a succession of mistakes led to James Kim’s death. Tragedy might have been averted had any one of those mistakes not been made.
The first mistake was to take a road normally closed and impassible in the wintertime. This might have been avoided by a good map, or calling in for a road report. Another mistake was not turning around when they encountered boulders in the road (a clue that the route might not be well traveled that time of year), or continuing to proceed when visibility became so bad they had to drive with a car door open just to see the road. Each of these mistakes were little, incrementally, but when cascaded together like they were, became a big problem very quickly. These errors essentially amount to a failure to take preliminary precautions, to adequately assess the situation and its dangers, and to properly react to them. NET members could face similar challenges, particularly when performing search and rescue operations. One little mistake can lead to another, and to another. Danger can be stealthy; we need to be vigilant.
