The Helicopter Association International’s first responder program, designed to take full advantage of the benefits and capabilities of helicopters and other aircraft to assist rescue efforts during times of emergency or crisis, received numerous hits following the earthquake in Haiti last month.

When an operator participates in the first responder program, it is signaling its availability to help during emergency rescue and relief efforts on short notice. There is no fee to join or participate and no obligation to respond to any particular requests for help.
