Review the Trauma Guidelines on the ALNW Landing Zone card If you’re not sure, call. ALNW has a Stand by policy. If your LZ is more than 10 minutes away from our helicopter, we will move the helicopter to a location closer to you. We are here to help. Don’t worry about a cost; there is no cost to the requesting agency. Your dispatch can put us on stand by before you get to the scene. We’ve published some recommendations about when to call ALNW, please review these Trauma Guidelines. If you’re not sure if you need a helicopter or not, call. We’ll help you work through the decision.
