Urban Search and Rescue

Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) is a specialized emergency response operation that focuses on locating and helping people trapped in urban environments, often due to disasters like earthquakes, building collapses, or explosions. USAR teams consist of trained professionals, including firefighters, paramedics, and engineers, who use advanced tools and techniques, such as search dogs and thermal imaging, to find survivors. Their aim is to provide rapid assistance, ensuring the safety and well-being of those affected while coordinating with other emergency services to manage the situation effectively.
