SAR (Search and Rescue) Operations

Search and Rescue (SAR) operations involve coordinated efforts to locate and assist individuals in distress or danger, such as those lost in wilderness areas or during natural disasters. These operations are carried out by trained teams, which may include firefighters, police, military personnel, and volunteers. They use various techniques, including aerial surveillance, ground searches, and specialized equipment. SAR aims to ensure the safety and recovery of affected individuals as quickly and effectively as possible, often requiring collaboration among multiple agencies and resources. Time is critical, as the chances of survival decrease with prolonged exposure to hazardous conditions.
