The Central Appalachian Cave Rescue Team is an on-call, well organized, trained, and equipped, all volunteer 501(c)(3) organization which will be dispatched by the Alleghany County, VA 9-1-1 center. Our response area is composed of Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and North Carolina contains well over seven thousand (7000) caves.

We are nearly operational and are going in-service within the next few weeks in June.

Qualified members needed.           JOIN THE CENTRAL APPALACHIAN CAVE RESCUE TEAM (CACRT)

The CACRT is now accepting applications for new members. Besides highly skilled and motivated cavers who can carry out rescues underground, we also need surface and administrative support. This can include cavers who will help manage our records, our website, and our dispatching, as well as provide the logistic support to move equipment from cache to cave and back. We also need onsite personnel management and logistics support.
