mountain rescue operations
Mountain rescue operations involve specialized teams responding to emergencies in rugged, often remote terrains. They assess the situation, locate the injured or stranded individuals using techniques like GPS or thermal imaging, and then plan a safe extraction. Rescuers may use technical climbing gear, ropes, and helicopters to access difficult areas and stabilize patients. The goal is to minimize further injuries while ensuring swift, safe evacuation to medical facilities. These operations require coordination, training, and experience to adapt to changing conditions such as weather, terrain, and the severity of injuries.
