Rescue and Recovery Operations

Rescue and recovery operations are organized efforts to locate, assist, and protect people affected by emergencies or disasters, such as natural calamities or accidents. Rescue involves actively searching for and helping individuals in danger, often using specialized skills and equipment. Recovery focuses on restoring safety, service, and normalcy—such as clearing debris, providing medical aid, and rebuilding infrastructure. These operations are coordinated by emergency services, governments, and aid organizations to save lives, reduce harm, and facilitate a return to normalcy in affected areas.
