search and rescue (SAR) operations

Search and Rescue (SAR) operations are organized efforts to locate and assist people who are lost, injured, or in danger, often after accidents, disasters, or emergencies. Teams use specialized skills, technology (like helicopters, drones, and GPS), and strategies to find victims in challenging environments such as mountains, forests, or water. The goal is to quickly locate individuals, provide medical aid if needed, and safely bring them to safety. SAR operations involve coordination among various agencies, including rescue teams, medical personnel, and law enforcement, to maximize efficiency and save lives.
