Who can become involved with IFRA and what does it cost?
Membership categories are:-
INDIVIDUAL
Membership of IFRA is open to individuals who hold relevant skills/qualifications in swiftwater/flood rescue and or powerboat coxswain certs. We invite applications from those persons who are over 18yrs of age who are interested in becoming active in the newly formed IFRA National Flood Rescue Team.
Individual membership subscription has been set at £20 per annum which will entitle members to take advantage of discounted IFRA organised training sessions, discounts on purchase of water rescue clothing and equipment and insurance cover whilst at IFRA approved incident /training courses/sessions.
Members of the IFRA NFRT will be encouraged to join their local IFRA approved team and will be expected to participate in quarterly NFRT training which will be held at various locations across the United Kingdom. These quarterly training events are designed to ensure individual and team skills/equipment are kept at the highest possible level and state of readiness and ensure that if called to duty the NFRT works as an effective unified rescue asset.
TEAM
Membership of IFRA is also open to rescue teams who specialise in, or wish to develop a flood/water rescue capability. We will provide guidance on a variety of issues such as health & safety, incident management, training, equipment, insurance, etc.
