Emergency response on the islands is better than most people would imagine. On a 911 call the Marine Patrol are on scene in about 5 minutes. The Fire Boat usually arrives a few minutes later. I'm certain we have better response times than many areas on the mainland.
New Hampshire law gives Marine Patrol officers, when they are on an island, the same powers as the local police.
Parents regularly take their children hiking, camping, fishing, boating or to other remote locations in NH without being told they are endangering their children. Perhaps you should think a little more before you post. Just some food for thought.
