WHO WE ARE<\/h3>

The Alberta Vehicle Extrication Association (AVEA) is a provincial representative in Alberta for the development and exchange of information, knowledge and\u00a0<\/span>skills in vehicle extrication and road rescue, and the support of rescue challenges. Its membership is drawn from the individuals and organizations in the emergency services that assist people at motor vehicle collisions every day, such as Fire and EMS Services.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

THE FACTS<\/h3>

Vehicle extrication or road rescue is the science of making space to rescue people injured in motor vehicle collisions efficiently, and without further injury, in order to deliver them to advanced medical care sooner \u2013 this provides them the best chance of survival.<\/p>

Research shows that worldwide there is one road trauma fatality every 26.9 seconds and that for every road fatality in developed countries like Canada there are three lifelong disablements, ten major trauma patients requiring surgery and 30 cases requiring medical care. This costs a staggering $630 billion per annum worldwide<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

WHAT WE DO<\/h3>

AVEA helps to reduce this toll by striving to ensure the same high standard of rescue care is provided to those involved in road crashes anywhere by creating and fostering the exchange of information and experience across its member individuals and organizations.<\/p>

Through its involvement in auto extrication rescue challenges, including training events and experiences by our instructors and their knowledge of the latest technologies, AVEA strives to improve the science and quality of rescue services provided to on patients and, therefore, a reduction in the severity of injuries.<\/p>

AVEA has contributed to an expansion of the knowledge base for the science of road rescue to assist in increasing the skill competencies of rescuers.<\/p>

AVEA engages with other peak bodies, emergency management and road safety organizations to form networks with other relevant peak bodies, nationally and internationally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
