Rescuers are racing against time to find the missing submersible. Those considering risky activities need to assess the cost and capacity of potential rescue needs, says this York University disaster and emergency management professor.
have proven to be an unusual case, as measured by the complexity, costs, time sensitivity and scale. Unlike search and rescue operations on the ground that can be undertaken by volunteers and with little or no equipment, marine search and rescue is a highly specialised operation.
If the operation fails, this will be a single incident that could count for about one-third of Canada’s annual average marine fatalities if it’s considered a Canadian incident. Unfortunately, many conventional risk assessments, particularly in private sector organisations, do not pay sufficient attention to available emergency response capacities. When considering the information that is coming out regarding the Titan’s search and rescue operation, it is becoming clear that this small emergency has surpassed the capacity of the resources that were operating in the area.
Similarly, many current risk assessments do not fully include emergency response costs in their calculations. While it is not a major consideration for many regular daily activities and operations because the emergency response is within regular possibilities, certain operations - particularly in remote marine environments - ought to add these costs into their risk assessment.
