[EAS] Engineer Emergency Credentials

[Richard_Rudman]

The answer to concerns about credentialing can be addressed by:

1) Establishing strict training standards for those who apply for credentials to cross police and fire lines.

2) Making an appropriate compliment of protective and survival equipment, water, and food part of the terms of credentialing.

3) An appropriate vehicle - 4WD for mountains. Sometime 4WD and chains for muddy roads.

4) A two-way radio and/or a sat. phone for some locations.

I have seen some engineers go to remote sites during questionable weather without water, food, and in one case not having a full gas tank.
