In 1971, a few visionary men saw a need for a specialized rescue unit in Washoe County, Nevada. Through much hard work and years of training and organization, the Hasty Team was formed. 

What is the meaning of "Hasty Team".  (Define)  What is the origin.

The Hasty Team has the responsibility of handling rescues and recoveries that require a high level of search and rescue skill and experience. The Team responds to searches and rescues which can involve;  aircraft accidents/incidents, swift-water and open-water, surface ice, dive, mines, high and low angle use of ropes and rigging, avalanche, missing persons both urban and back country and mantracking.  To see the capabilities of the Team in these areas in more detail click here ...

Because of the levels of difficulty and the amount of continued training required for each discipline, many members of the Hasty Team limit their activity to just one or two of the rescue applications mentioned.

The Hasty Team is an all volunteer, not for profit, 501(c)(3), Nevada organization. Our members are located primarily in Reno and Sparks, Nevada.
