The policy option you need for Snowcard is +"Max Adventure" which covers original cave exploration in an area which has an established cave rescue organisation. +<p>It is very difficult to find out whether any insurance policy actually covers expedition caving or not. +Some have complete +exclusions for, say "potholing and climbing which normally requires guides or ropes", some are less explicit. +<h3>Local cave club membership</h3> +<p>If you are a member of the local cave club then some of your rescue expenses could be covered by that club. +<p>Here's the form to fill in for VfHÖ membership: +<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/2wk00itu8y2hx1l/Beitrittserkl%C3%A4rung.doc?dl=0">download</a> +Found here +<a href="http://www.hoehle.at/wordpress/verein/unterstutzungsmitglied-spenden/">www.hoehle.at/wordpress/verein/unterstutzungsmitglied-spenden/</a> +and needs to be emailed to <em>hoehle (at) tele2.at </em> which goes to Robert TWC (The Wonder Caver). + +<p>Cost of membership is €30. There are details of how to do the bank transfer on their website +but generally Robert rocks up at the dinner and cash is handed over. +<p> +<h2>Medical Form</h2> +<p>At the start of expo we have asked people to fill in an anonymous form +for their health and medical details that will be kept secure in the tattie hut and only accessed +in the case of an emergency. +<p> +If anybody has any suggestions for updates to this form or other things apart from basic medical +details, history and requirements (and your insurance details) please let me know. I'm not sure +where the template from last year has got to... but will probably be able to find out. + +<hr /> + +</body> +</html>
