Radio NZ has been asking for months if there are coordination problems between agencies that are delaying helicopters or planes getting to rescues. A new system to fix gaps & get SAR helicopters & planes to emergencies faster was tested late last year & sped up rescues. But it might take two to three years to roll it out nationally 😬 https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/emergency/592832/police-fire-aviation-coordination-trial-sped-up-rescue-resources-but-still-years-away-from-roll-out #NZ #SAR
