Facebook Posting Regulations

We invite region SAR members to post news articles and SAR photos to our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/InterMountainRescue, but the following standards must be maintained at all times. Posts not following these protocols will be deleted, and offenders may be blocked from further posting.

  1. Do not post sensitive or illegal information. For example, refrain from posting victim names or any medical information restricted by HIPAA regulations. 
  2. Be respectful, always. Even if people get into trouble due to making poor decisions such as going into the mountains unprepared, do not mock them here. We all make poor choices sometimes, and someday you could find yourself in a similar situation.
  3. Do not post photos that reveal the identity of victims or the public. Any faces should be blurred out before posting.
  4. Do not post recognizable photos of teammates without their consent.
  5. Do not post disturbing photos such as those displaying severe injuries or death.
  6. Please only share your very best photos, and not more than two or three at a time. 
Thank you for your cooperation. We're excited about spreading the word about the incredible work performed by our quiet volunteers and your contributions are appreciated.
