Burning Man sure is fun! Getting ill, injured or killed, well ... not so fun. 
And here's the thing to keep in mind about the Black Rock Desert: it's one of 
the most strikingly beautiful and utterly ethereal locations in the world that 
will ever try to kill you.

OK, maybe we're getting a little dramatic. But not really ... BECAUSE IT'S 
TRUE. So listen up, folks.

In the spirit of Radical Self-Reliance, Burning Man provides the essential 
safety infrastructure to take care of our citizens, but ultimately the 
responsibility for your personal health and safety falls to YOU.

In this JRS, we've got everything you need to know about taking care of 
yourself and what services are available, should the need arise. Plus some 
other interesting, important (and even esoteric!) safety information.

Thanks to Emergency Services Department overlord Joseph Pred (he hates when we 
do this) for pulling together this invaluable edition of the JRS.

The Man burns in 24 days! Whoaaaaaa.

HEALTH PERMITS ARE REQUIRED

The Nevada State Health Division (NSHD) requires camps preparing food to apply 
for a permit and allow an on playa kitchen inspection. You must apply for, and 
be permitted as, a Temporary Food Establishment by the NSHD if:

* You wish to share, cook or serve food or non-alcoholic beverages to the 
general Burning Man population (gifting food).

* You will be cooking or serving food to groups of more than 125 FELLOW CAMPERS 
of your theme camp on a consistent basis.

Check out the blog post for more details:

WE'RE IN BED WITH B.E.D.

The Bureau of Erotic Discourse (B.E.D.) was formed back in 2005 as a grassroots 
community group to raise awareness and educate participants about sexual 
assault, safety and sex positive communication on playa. Since then this 
committed group of participants have nurtured B.E.D. into a multifaceted effort 
that promotes positive change in the Burning Man community using posters, 
workshops, outreach and dialog on consent, sex and sexual assault prevention. 
We strongly encourage all theme camps to participate in their Theme Camp 
Challenge: 

http://www.bureauoferoticdiscourse.org/ThemeCampChallenge.php 

In order to increase B.E.D.'s outreach to the community, Burning Man's 
Emergency Services Department (ESD) Mental Health Branch, which handles sexual 
assault and domestic violence cases on playa in conjunction with Law 
Enforcement, has created a collaborative partnership with B.E.D. This 
partnership gives vital support to B.E.D. that will allow them to focus on 
educating the community.

A special shout out to GiGi, Littlewing, Ludo, Dr. Placebo and Mary for being 
the true champions of this successful effort in our community!

ART WITH FRICKIN' LASERS 

Lasers are by no means toys. They can cause blindness, fires and other problems 
if set up improperly or if the incorrect equipment is used. Remember to install 
and use lasers in such a way that they avoid eye level as the beam can 
temporarily or permanently blind people. 

***New for 2013: All laser projects on playa that use Class 3B or Class 4 
lasers need to be operated by a laser professional that has the appropriate 
training, insurance and experience to safely manage the laser installation. 
Since most laser projects on playa use lesser classes of laser this won't 
affect many projects. Thankfully, all the projects who reported having high 
powered lasers already met this new guideline as part of their design and we 
appreciate those who were proactive in safely managing their lasers. If you're 
not sure about laser classes, check out:

http://www.lasermet.com/resources/classification_overview.php

If you are going to have a laser set up on playa and no one in your camp is a 
laser professional consider these tips:

* Use the lowest class laser and use it at the lowest power setting to 
reasonably accomplish your desired effect.
* Treat laser operations as a serious safety matter.
* Ensure all operators are sober.
* Designate someone to monitor the laser to make sure your lasers are being 
operated safely.
* If your laser operates automatically or without an operator, have someone 
monitor the system so they can shut it down if necessary. 


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


WEATHER OR NOT IT RAINS

Rain storms, while much less common than dust storms, do happen. Here are some 
wet weather tips to remember:

* Listen to BMIR 94.5 FM for updates and information.
* Cover and secure anything electrical.
* Like with dust storms, check your structures and the art in your camp to be 
sure it will be safe in the wind and rain.
* Don’t drive on wet playa, your vehicle is likely to get stuck.

SENDING AND RECEIVING EMERGENCY MESSAGES: FAQ

Q: Where should I go to check for emergency messages that might be waiting for 
me?

A: The only place on-playa that serves as a central distribution point for 
emergency messages is Playa Info in Center Camp.

Q: What if friends or family at home need to reach me for an emergency?

A: Given the nature of the event, finding a participant on the playa can be 
quite challenging. Cell phones really don't work, most of you don't carry 
satellite phones and there is limited Internet access. Add to that the fact 
that addresses on the playa are inexact even if you *do* know where you're 
camping ahead of time, and finding a person's camp can become very difficult. 

Q: How can friends or family send me a message?

A: Emergency messages should be sent via the emergency contact web form found 
here: http://911.burningman.com/?pg=contact . Messages may be passed to the 
Black Rock Rangers who, if they have the extra resources, will attempt to 
deliver it. We will also make the message available at Playa Info in Center 
Camp, so if you're awaiting bad news or anticipating emergency messages, check 
in there each day.

Q: What details should be included in an emergency message?

A: The emergency contact web form will prompt users for details to help find 
you. Important details include first and last name as well as any known 
nickname that you might go by around camp. It should also include the name of 
your theme camp or other affiliation (volunteer team, etc.), and its location 
if known, along with your vehicle make/license plate and any other unique 
features that will help with the search (such as, "camp has a 20 foot 
inflatable alien," etc.).

Q: What can prevent me from getting the message?

A: Just a few of the variables that can get in the way: your camp relocates; 
nobody's ever in camp when we come to find you; your camp spot is obscured from 
view by other camps; the 20 foot inflatable alien deflates due to a leak; there 
are three camps with 20-foot inflatable aliens, and none of the neighbors know 
anyone named "Damon" because you have been introducing yourself all week as 
"Doctor Damaged." You get the idea.

In other words, you're heading to the middle of the desert and there is no 
guarantee that we'll be able to deliver a message in an emergency; it's 
important to weigh that before you leave home. If you are awaiting news you can 
actively check in at Playa Info, and in truly dire circumstances you can take 
the bus into Gerlach to use a pay phone, cellular phone or take advantage of 
the free wifi coverage there.


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


GET SHOWERED WITH... WHAT?!? EWWWW, GROSS.

It's nice to shower others with affection, but the non-potable water (that 
means it's not safe for drinking) in the road watering trucks isn't a safe 
alternative to a shower. It may contain all sorts of icky things that can make 
you sick. Resist the temptation to run after the trucks as they pass by! People 
have also slipped in the mud and seriously hurt themselves. Just bring a solar 
camping shower instead.

While we're talking about bathing, keep in mind that public showers, baths, and 
pools are PROHIBITED in Black Rock City since there is no legal way to make 
them safe or for the authorities to approve them. Showers that are set up for 
you and your campmates are fine, just as long as they're not open to the public.


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


YOU'RE SICK OR HURT AT BURNING MAN, NOW WHAT?

Q: What should I do if I get hurt or sick on the playa?

A: We hope, of course, that you won't get sick or hurt...but being radically 
self-reliant also means remembering to bring a first aid kit 
(http://bit.ly/Afd8M)and treating yourself or your campmates for minor 
injuries. Should your illness or injury be more severe than you can manage 
without help, there are Emergency Services Department (ESD) medical stations 
near the 3:00 and 9:00 plazas and the Rampart clinic at 5:10 and Esplanade. 
Look for the red cross on top of the stations at 3:00 and 9:00. 

Q: What if they can't manage my problem?

A: If the on-site medical providers feel that you have a medical emergency that 
requires a higher level of care than can be provided on the playa, you may need 
to visit a hospital in Reno. Depending on the seriousness of your condition, 
that can be accomplished by either getting a ride from a friend or being 
transported by an ambulance or helicopter. Remember to bring your ID, insurance 
card, cell phone and wallet when you go. Also note that if you get transported 
by ambulance or helicopter you'll need to arrange for a friend to pick you up 
after your hospital visit. There are no shuttles from the hospitals back to the 
playa. However, if you're stranded, Humboldt General Hospital (HGH) EMS will 
assist you the next time they come to Reno. HGH is in touch with hospitals to 
coordinate that effort. Seriously though, your friends should pick you up so 
you can buy ice cream and snacks for your camp. While HGH will help you out if 
you're stranded, they certainly will not stop for you to go shopping.

Q: Is there a clinic in Gerlach?

A: THE CLINIC THAT USED TO BE IN GERLACH IS NOW CLOSED. Your closest point of 
care for those coming or going East (depending on which route you take) is 
Pershing General Hospital in Lovelock, Nevada http://pershinghospital.org/.  
Westbound your choices are more plentiful with several hospitals in Reno.

Q: Where can I get a prescription filled?

A: It's best to bring adequate medications for your needs. Should you need to 
get a prescription refilled the closest pharmacies are in Fernley or Reno.  


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


DID YOU KNOW IT COSTS $25,000 IF YOU GET TRANSPORTED OFF PLAYA VIA HELICOPTER?!?

The most expensive ride on the playa is the one you never want to take: an 
emergency medical helicopter transport to one of the Reno hospitals. Even if 
you have insurance it still might leave you with a bill for several thousand 
dollars since most insurance doesn't cover 100% of the cost. Of course it is 
considerably worse if you have no insurance at all!

Every year, it seems, we hear a story or two of a Burner who gets airlifted off 
playa only to practically need to be resuscitated again when they receive their 
bill months later. Given that only an unlucky few get airlifted each year, 
chances are good you'll never need it, but if you have a complicated 
pre-existing condition or want to have some extra coverage "just in case," it's 
worth considering the Flight Plan Membership that Care Flight offers. Their 
program covers your entire family for $55/year and also applies to other air 
medical services in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming. 
Non-Nevada residents are eligible for this program. See their website for all 
the details and fine print:

RANTING AND RAILING ABOUT STRUCTURAL SAFETY

Since *you* assume all liability for the safety of any structure you construct, 
here are some important questions you should ask yourself when designing and 
building a structure at Burning Man:

• Building a platform? 
- What's the load capacity? 
- How many people can it hold based on the load capacity?
- How will you prevent it from becoming overcrowded? 

• Railings are required to be strong enough to be leaned against; how will you 
accomplish that?

• Have you factored in the high winds conditions that are like on Black Rock 
Desert for your design? 

If you have not fully considered all aspects of your plan from a structural 
engineering perspective, you have more research to do.

BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL AT THE MAN BURN: GET HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT

Burn night can be chaotic when everyone crowds around the Man. To take the 
guesswork out of finding help, ESD has created safety contact points outside 
the Burn circle. There is one on the 3 o'clock side of the Man and another on 
the 9 o'clock side of the Man. Both of them are along the promenade on the edge 
of the crowd. Each contact point is marked by a bright blue rotating emergency 
beacon and both tend to be easily visible from the edge of the crowd. 

Each rally point has a host of resources dedicated to it in case there is a 
need, including Black Rock Rangers, Law Enforcement, ESD Medical, ESD Fire and 
HGH EMS. Just walk up and ask, and we'll arrange for the right resource to 
follow you back to where help is needed.


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


CARRY YOUR ID ON PLAYA

While Black Rock City is a magical place, we still need to carry ID for several 
good reasons...

1. If you get hurt on playa and are transported while unconscious we can 
identify you.
2. In case you get arrested and have to prove your identity to law enforcement.
3. If you're lucky enough to look under 21 and want a drink in any camp that 
serves alcohol.
4. If you are driving a motor vehicle of ANY KIND, you must always carry a 
valid Driver's License.


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


YOU REMEMBERED A SPARE KEY, RIGHT?

Every year, Burners lock their keys in their car or lose them -- big bummer, 
right? Doesn't need to be. One simple step will save you tons of time, hassle 
and money:

MAKE AN EXTRA KEY and store it someplace secure. Hassle avoided!

Now what if you don't have an extra key? Lockout services are available. Go to 
Playa Info, or if Playa Info is closed, go to Ranger HQ after-hours.  


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


STRANDED AT A RENO HOSPITAL WITH NOTHING BUT A BACKLESS GOWN?

So you wake up in a hospital bed and a nurse is telling you that you're going 
to get discharged soon. Unfortunately, the last thing you remember was being on 
playa. Of course, since it was the playa, you didn't bring your wallet or purse 
with your money and cell phone. So how do you get back to the playa?

Your friends on the playa of course! In the vast majority of circumstances your 
friends already know you're in the hospital and are on their way to pick you 
up. But what if you're stranded? Luckily, our friends at Humboldt General 
Hospital (HGH) EMS will coordinate with Reno hospitals to get you back to Black 
Rock City when one of their ambulances return. While this resource may be 
available it's important to note that HGH EMS is NOT a shuttle service. HGH EMS 
is generously offering this as a last resort to those who are truly stranded at 
the hospital. We very much appreciate their help for the few people each year 
who get stranded by offering this last resort means to get you back to Burning 
Man.


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


LOOKING FOR SOMEONE MISSING ON PLAYA?

The only place on playa that serves as a central collection point for emergency 
messages is Playa Info. The Rangers, ESD, HGH and Law Enforcement pass 
information to Playa Info so that it serves as the clearinghouse for all such 
messages, saving you the hassle of having to run around and check all the 
different places a person may be.


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


ADOPT-AN-INTERSECTION

We all know people like to steal the street signs from BRC on their way out of 
the event. This unhelpful habit causes havoc for the medical crews, fire 
trucks, Black Rock Rangers and others by making it difficult to find the 
location of those who need help in an emergency.

We implore everyone to leave the street signs where they are on your way out of 
the city. Obviously most people are not guilty of stealing street signs, but 
there will always be those that persist... so we are asking some of you 
wonderful and awesome Burners to help by adopting an intersection.

A simple way to help everyone...

The idea was inspired some years ago when participants spontaneously improvised 
street signs to make it possible to navigate the city in absence of the 
originals. If you see a signpost missing its sign, use some cardboard, a 
marker, and some duct tape to make a legible replacement. It will not only help 
your friends find your camp, it will help all of the emergency responders and 
will be of great help to your fellow citizens of Black Rock City. It's a small 
thing that makes a big difference. We thank you in advance for your help!


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


FREQUENCY COORDINATION: ARE YOU USING TWO-WAY RADIOS ON THE PLAYA?

Are you planning on using a two-way radio (greater than 5 watts) for any reason 
on the playa? The Emergency Services Department coordinates spectrum and 
systems to avoid interference between various projects on playa and the Burning 
Man radio infrastructure.

Please note that in general ESD does not coordinate AM or FM broadcast radio, 
WiFi, HAM, FRS (aka Talkabouts), GMRS, CB, or RC bands. However if you are 
planning a high power radio application in any of these bands please let us 
know so we can isolate your signal in case of interference.

Please contact ESD Communications at http://911.burningman.com/?pg=contact if 
you have questions or to register your frequency request.


**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**


"911" SERVICE IN BLACK ROCK CITY, NOW WITH ART SUPPORT!

By now most know that there is very limited cell phone service in the area 
surrounding Gerlach. If you're lucky enough to have a signal in Black Rock City 
please do not call 911 for problems within the event site. The dispatch center 
you would eventually reach doesn't manage the available resources on playa. 
It's far faster to flag down a Ranger or send someone to fetch help at a Ranger 
Outpost or ESD Station. That said, there is a way to directly call for help 
since ESD's on-site emergency dispatch monitors a designated emergency channel 
on the license-free MURS (Multi User Radio Service) radio band.

MURS is a service similar to FRS (Family Radio Service, the frequencies that 
Motorola Talkabouts and similar inexpensive radios use). FRS channels are 
extremely overcrowded and they're used by thousands of participants during the 
event. FRS radios are also not powerful enough to effectively communicate 
throughout Black Rock City. MURS, in contrast, is currently not in common usage 
and operates at a higher power output so it can communicate across the entire 
playa.

We appreciate that participants respect that this "911" channel on MURS will be 
used for emergencies only.

***New for 2013 is that Art projects will be able to use their MURS radio to 
call Art Support Services directly, saving them the hassle of having to go all 
the way to the ARTery in person to follow up on issues.

You will need to purchase your own MURS radio to contact ESD 911 or Art Support 
Services, but the other three MURS channels can also be used just like FRS 
radios for other purposes. Large camps or villages might also choose to make 
one part of their group planning efforts and store it in a public place for 
emergency use.

Reasons to choose MURS:

* If you're part of a large theme camp it's a good investment to have a MURS 
radio around to call ESD emergency dispatch for your group, especially if you 
have members who have known health issues or the risk of injury is of special 
concern.

* Large art projects working out on the open playa will be able to get help 
faster.

* Camps that are on the outer-rings of the city are far from a Emergency 
Services station don't have to send runners for help when an emergency arises.

* The other 3 open channels on MURS can be a great alternative to the 
overcrowded FRS channels, especially if your camp has a Mutant Vehicle or 
event-wide project they want to coordinate.

* It's the only way for the public to contact Black Rock City's emergency 
dispatch.

To call Art Support Services on a MURS radio: Set your MURS radio to channel 4 
(154.570 MHz, CTCSS/PL 97.4).

To call 911 on a MURS radio: Set your MURS radio to channel 5 (154.600 MHz, 
CTCSS/PL 97.4) to reach the Black Rock City Emergency Services Dispatch.

PLEASE NOTE: Each brand has its own labeling system so please refer to your 
user manual to see how CTCSS/PL 97.4 is labeled. Using any other "privacy 
codes" on channel 5 will interfere with 911. Instead limit your personal use to 
channels 1-3. 

PROTIP: Program your radio at home where you can look up more info on how to do 
so on the internet.

FOR ALL MURS USERS: We ask that all Burning Man participants respect that 
channel 4 & 5 will be used for official use only. While the other MURS channels 
are fine for personal use we want to stress that channel 5 on MURS please be 
kept open for emergencies and not used for any other purpose.  

An example of a few MURS radio models:

Dakota Alert MURS portable (works similar to common FRS radios, with selectable 
channel and code on the display) http://bit.ly/bmgDqI
Motorola MURS portable http://bit.ly/16tBhaJ (this vendor will program the 
radio for you upon request)

We recommend you search online for the best price for whatever model radio you 
choose to buy.

Or if you don't want to buy a radio for this purpose you can contact your local 
two way radio rental service in your area and inquire about renting a VHF radio 
for this purpose (and they would program it for you as part of the rental, 
making configuring the radio hassle free if you're not tech savvy).

BLACK ROCK RANGERS

In addition to the Emergency Services Department, the Black Rock Rangers play 
an important role in our community safety.

The Black Rock Rangers are a volunteer organization dedicated to the safety of 
the citizens of Black Rock City and its environs. The Rangers are a broad 
cross-section of the Burning Man community who volunteer some of their time as 
non-confrontational community mediators. They are empowered by the community 
and the Burning Man board to address safety concerns, mediate disputes and 
resolve conflicts when they cannot be resolved by the persons involved. 

Rangers are available to any Black Rock citizen who needs their help and can be 
found patrolling the city, in the area around the base of the Man, at Ranger HQ 
near Center Camp, and at the Ranger Outposts located in the 3 o'clock and 9 
o'clock plazas, directly across from the ESD stations. Rangers can be 
identified by their khaki-colored costumes with a Black Rock Ranger logo on the 
back.

Rangers rely on the Burning Man community to help them do their jobs; there's a 
lot more participants than there are Rangers and you, too, are the eyes and 
ears of safety in Black Rock City. Here's a few FAQs on accessing the Rangers 
as a resource (and ways that you can help):

Q: What should you do if you lose your child in Black Rock City?

A: Parents who have become separated from their child should find a Ranger 
(either at a Ranger Outpost, Ranger HQ, or a pair patrolling the city), who 
will report the child as missing. That information then goes out to all the 
Rangers patrolling Black Rock City.

Q: What should you do if you find a child who can't find their parents?

A: Ask the child to come with you and a friend to a Ranger Outpost or Ranger 
HQ, and once you get there, the Rangers will relay the information about the 
child and the parents to all the Rangers patrolling Black Rock City (and 
probably offer to give you a big hug for helping out!). 

Q: What if I'm having a dispute with a neighbor or a campmate that I can't 
resolve?

A: The Rangers are happy to listen to everyone involved in a difficult 
situation and will work to help you come to a solution that you can live with 
for a week in the desert. A solution doesn't always mean everyone involved is 
going to get exactly what they wanted when they started looking for a solution, 
but Rangers will work to help prevent a conflict to prevent it from escalating 
and find a workable solution.

THE FAMILY UNIFICATION NETWORK

Kids want to have FUN! The Family Unification Network that is. In instances of 
a lost child or separation, FUN helps to reunite children with parents faster.

Here's how it works: parents and children register together at Ranger 
Headquarters in Center Camp. After providing simple identifying information, 
children will receive a unique wristband with a serial number, which will 
identify the child, parent or guardian, and camp location. And that's it!  
Simple!

Should your child become separated from you, he or she just needs to find a 
Ranger. The wristband will facilitate a speedy reunion.

Registration is open daily at Ranger Headquarters before noon and after 2pm.

****Staff and volunteers with families are strongly encouraged to register 
their children in support of this program.****
