All pilots planning to fly this site must access and review the Whetstone Mountains Emergency Action Plan. They must make a copy of the plan so that it can be easily consulted in the event of an emergency. They must also execute the pre-expedition and on-site-arrival checklists contained in the EAP.
When calling 911 in the event of an emergency, be prepared to give the operator the lat/long coordinates of the emergency scene and also expect to be asked what county the emergency scene is in. Quite often it will be the county sheriff who will direct rescue operations.
