Sheriff

Note to Sierra Club trip leaders: The Sheriff's office is the first point of contact for emergencies, they can dispatch the appropriate service for help. Older satellite phones don't have 911, so it is important to list 24 hour dispatch numbers (listed below) not the administrative numbers listed on their web sites.
