Rescue Coordination Center

A Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) is an organized unit that manages search and rescue operations for missing or distressed individuals, particularly in emergencies. It coordinates agencies such as the coast guard, military, and local responders, ensuring that all resources and information are effectively utilized. The RCC monitors communication signals, like distress calls, and assesses the situation to dispatch the appropriate teams. It plays a crucial role in saving lives by overseeing efforts during natural disasters, maritime incidents, or remote area emergencies, ensuring a timely and efficient response to those in need.
