For Emergencies dial 999 or 112 and ask for Mountain Rescue. Mayo Mountain Rescue Team was founded in the late 1980s as part of the Western Mountain Rescue Team.

In 1996 MMRT recruited many new members and had a total of 35 members.  All but the newest members have Mountain Skills Training and First Aid to REC and Advanced REC level.  Whilst many members also have partaken in Cliff Rescue, Rigging for Rescue, Search Management, Party Leader and Mountain Leadership Training.  All of this has been achieved because of the commitment of the members that make up the team.  Mayo Mountain Rescue Team is a Voluntary Organisation. I t is comprised of hillwalkers and mountaineers from all over Mayo and even further afield.  The team responds to emergency callouts predominantly on Croagh Patrick with up to 80% of all annual callouts being focused on the pilgrimage mountain as well as out main annual focus of Reek Sunday where MMRT coordinate the activities of all MR Teams attending for the pilgrimage of up to 20,000 people climbing on this one day at the end of July.  However MMRT have also being involved in various other outdoor events throughout the county such as the Focus Ireland 4 peaks Challenge and the Gael Force Adventure Race based in the Westport Area as well as participating in HSE West Major Emergency Planning and Training Exercises.
