IKAR-CISA The IKAR-CISA history in mountain rescue operations and standards goes back to 1948, and IKAR work has affected the improvement of rescue operations everywhere in the world. The IKAR has more than 30 member country organizations that meet regularly and the work is closely followed by the climbing and manufacturing communities in Europe and around the world. IKAR celebrated its 50th anniversary in Switzerland in 2008 and Topograph Media has produced video records of annual congress each year since 2007. These IKAR highlight videos from Sweden 2011, Slovakia 2010, Switzerland 2009, France 2008, Switzerland 2007 can be found on the Topograph Vimeo channel. Distribution of the DVDs and web based video clips are available to mountain rescue teams around the world, as well as the climbing and manufacturing communities. The purpose of these clips is to inform everyone about the latest techniques and technologies demonstrated at IKAR, and how participation in IKAR can benefit rescuers and the general public.
