A National Park Service ambulance transported the hiker to a hospital. Near the Temple of Sinawava, park rangers found an injured hiker who had been swept downstream several hundred yards.
on Friday, August 19 of multiple hikers being swept off their feet by a flash flood in the Narrows near the Temple of Sinawava.Īfter receiving the initial report, the National Park Service immediately sent rangers to assess the situation and began mobilizing for a large-scale response. Zion National Park received a report around 2:15 p.m. Several seasonal-monsoon rains increased flow in the Virgin River to a peak of more than 1100 cubic feet per second. The river was flowing at about 50 cubic feet per second when the Zion Search and Rescue Team ended their search. The response involved work by swift water trained rescuers, search dogs, and a total of more than 1500 person-hours searching in and near the Virgin River.ĭuring the search, park rangers closely monitored the weather.
These responders worked inside and outside the park. National Park Service staff from Grand Canyon National Park and Lake Mead National Recreation Area Zion National Park extends thanks to our partners: More than 170 responders contributed to operations over the course of the four day search and rescue operation. Meter/second to Mile/hour Conversion Table Meter/second ġ5 m/s = 15 × 2.2369362921 mi/h = 33.“Our deepest sympathy goes out to the friends and family of Jetal Agnihotri,” Jeff Bradybaugh, Zion National Park superintendent said. It is also used in the Canadian rail system, though the Canadian road systems use km/h. It is most widely used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and their related territories. One mph equals exactly 1.609344 kilometers per hour (km/h).Ĭurrent use: Along with km/h, mph is most typically used in relation to road traffic speeds. It expresses the number of statute miles traveled over the period of one hour. Mile/hourĭefinition: The unit miles per hour (symbol: mph) is a measurement of speed in the imperial and United States customary systems. The kilometer per hour, and in some countries the mile per hour, are the preferred measurement of road speed. The kilometer per second is also used when meters per second is too slow a measurement, such as in astronomical measurements and higher velocities. Although this unit has seen some support, particularly in Germany, the unit benz was rejected as the SI unit of velocity.Ĭurrent use: As the SI derived unit of speed and velocity, the meter per second and its multiples are used widely within scientific contexts. The unit benz, named after Karl Benz, a German engine designer and automobile engineer (and founder of the company that would eventually merge and produce the Mercedez-Benz line of automobiles) has been proposed as a named for one meter per second. History/origin: The meter per second is a unit that was derived based on the SI units of meters and seconds. It is equal to exactly 3.6 kilometers per hour, approximately 3.2808 feet per second, and approximately 2.2369 miles per hour. It is defined as the distance traveled in meters divided by the amount of time taken in seconds. Definition: A meter per second (symbol: m/s) is an SI (International System of Units) derived unit of speed and velocity.
