INSARAG Guidelines

INSARAG (International Search and Rescue Advisory Group) Guidelines provide a standardized framework for global urban search and rescue operations. They establish procedures for planning, coordination, and conducting rescue missions after disasters like earthquakes or explosions. The guidelines help ensure that rescue teams from different countries can work effectively together, sharing best practices and maintaining safety. They also specify how teams should assess damage, prioritize rescue efforts, and utilize equipment. Overall, INSARAG promotes a coordinated international response to improve the effectiveness and safety of rescue efforts during emergencies involving collapsed structures.
