Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Only then does the team carry out the final evacuation, carefully lowering the hiker down the mountainside on a stretcher or, in more remote cases, waiting for a helicopter winch to lift them to safety.
- Once a search dog or a spotter finally locates the hiker, often cold, injured, or disoriented after a fall, the team stabilizes any injuries on the spot before deciding how best to move the person to safety.
- Because the terrain is often too rugged for a simple line search, the team deploys in small groups along likely paths while a drone or helicopter scans the surrounding slopes from above.
- Volunteers from the rescue team assemble quickly, cross-referencing the hiker's planned route with recent trail conditions to narrow down where the search should begin.
- When a hiker fails to check in at the expected time, a worried family member typically alerts local authorities, setting a mountain rescue operation into motion.
