Swiftwater Rescue

Swiftwater rescue refers to specialized techniques and practices used to save individuals from fast-moving water environments, such as rivers or floods. Rescuers are trained to assess the current's strength, navigate safely in turbulent waters, and use specific equipment like ropes and flotation devices. The objective is to safely reach and assist those at risk, whether they are stranded on a bank, trapped in debris, or swept away by currents. This methodical approach minimizes dangers to both the rescuer and the victim, focusing on rescue efficiency while ensuring safety standards are met.
