first-aid & communications
Medical - First-Aid
The Best In The Desert is committed to safety and welfare.
We have assembled teams of First-Aid personnel to respond if needed. These volunteers are wonderful, skilled, dedicated medical professionals. Most work daily as EMS providers in the areas that these races are held. They are not miracle workers, but they will be there when needed. Our teams will work with local EMS agencies and work towards definitive care. If you need them, look for the First-Aid flags at the gas stops. Participants USE your yellow cards! If you do not need them, wave as you cover them with dust. Race smart and enjoy the scenery in wonderful Nevada.
Good Luck!
Communications
The Best in the Desert Communications. The hardest most forgotten part of any off-road event until someone has an emergency or wants something from somewhere else on the race course. Many people don't realize the difficulty of having good communications. It's not easy!! With race courses that are sometimes spread out over 1000 miles, the logistics of getting race information where it's needed, and when it's
needed...as well as the information being correct can only be done by people that care. In most Best of the Desert events all communications are handled by amateur radio operators. Casey Folks recognized early in his promoting career the need for solid, good communications and amateur radio has been a part of Best in the Desert ever since we began. Many of the amateur radio volunteers supporting the Best in the Desert are not racers, but have a "can do attitude" and enjoy the challenge of the Nevada desert and demonstrating the capabilities of amateur radio. Without the ham radio operators and other volunteers supporting the sport and Best in the Desert, there would be no Best in the Desert. My deepest thanks and appreciation to all of them... they make an almost impossible task appear fun and easy.
Thanks to all and have fun!
