SAR and rescue techniques

Search and Rescue (SAR) refers to the coordinated efforts to locate and assist people in distress or danger, often in remote or hazardous environments. Techniques involve planning search patterns, using technology like GPS and drones, and deploying trained personnel and dogs. Communication is vital, so teams may use radios to stay connected. For water rescues, boats or helicopters may be utilized. Once found, rescuers assess injuries and provide first aid, ensuring the person’s safety during transport to medical facilities. The overall goal is to effectively and efficiently save lives while minimizing risks to both victims and rescuers.
