JULY TEAM TRAINING: Loved by all who call the CP home, hated by the ground pounders - "Command & Control" isn't the most exciting training 🙄, it is one of the most beneficial trainings for any SAR member👍.
"C&C" is a tabletop exercise that teaches you how to manage a search.

Stay safe! VC water temps: high 50’s to low 60’s. Potential cooling Sunday into Monday from upwelling caused by strong on shore, NW, wind flow. Strong rip currents and sneaker waves from short period NW wind swell can wash farther up on shore. Keep an eye on the little ones!

Building short period seas will bring elevated surf and strong rip currents to area beaches this holiday weekend. Use extra caution at the beach! Always swim near a lifeguard. #SoCal #CAwx
