Where saving lives is the law: The role of regulation and enforcement in SAR prevention | Common sense is often not enough. There is an important role for regulation and enforcement in maintaining safety in the air, on the water, and on the ground. Whether it involves Arctic shipping, recreational boating, or visitor safety in parks, the law is an important partner in SAR prevention. Actual cases are presented which demonstrate how regulation and enforcement can help save lives and minimize injury. |

Hitting the target: getting the right safety messages to the right audiences. | Knowledge is power, yet few people like to be told that they need to change how they work, play, or live their lives. But if that change in behaviour will reduce or prevent injury, getting a clear and convincing message to the right people is critical. See how these organizations succeeded in identifying and reaching their audience; and the important role good data plays in this process. |

Win-Win: Promoting prevention together – the role of industry | Leveraging the resources and capabilities of industry often extends the reach of a prevention program well beyond what government or volunteers could ever imagine. These case studies provide ideas and inspiration for future partnerships of this kind. |

How could this happen?? The investigator's contribution to SAR prevention, from individual cases to trend analysis | It has been said that we must learn from the mistakes of others, because we won't live long enough to make them all ourselves. Understanding why an accident happened lays the foundation for finding ways to prevent it from happening again. Explore the art and science of the investigator's role in SAR prevention. |

From the mouths of babes: The multiple benefits of children's programming. | The CCGA has developed a number of prevention programs aimed at children – and of course, their parents too. "Bobbie and Safety Boat" and "Kids Don't Float" are initiatives that have a much wider reach than a first glance would suggest. Similarly, programs like Hug-a-Tree convey important messages to parents and teachers too. |
