I noticed this sentence in the Wikipedia page for the French translation of Touching the Void 1
Sans aucune assistance, à part Richard Hawking, un étudiant rencontré sur place, et qui garde leur camp de base et doit prévenir les secours après un certain temps d'absence, les deux hommes savent que le moindre problème peut leur être fatal.
From, the context it clear that it means he must get help if they fail to return but I read this as "and he must prevent rescue after a certain period of absence". What am I missing? Does prevenir have another meaning?

prévenir's main meaning is warn, let someone know, not prevent. Have you tried a dictionary before asking?

It's alright :) And just so you know, I don't recommend Google Translate, not because the translations are "bad" but because it gives 1 translation. Most of the times it's more subtle and words have at least 3-4 translations. It's always better to look in a dictionary that gives several of them.

Google Translate needs context, just like the rest of us... : prévenir les secours → "to prevent the rescue" but Il doit prévenir les secours après un certain temps d'absence → He must warn the helpers after a certain period of absence.

As @Teleporting Goat said, prevenir means to warn. For example:
I'm warning you: Google Translate sucks. --> Je te préviens Google Traducteur est nul.
Good advice, try to use DeepL instead of Google translate. It's much better!
