USAR (Urban Search and Rescue)

USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) is a specialized emergency response operation focused on locating, rescuing, and providing aid to victims trapped in collapsed buildings or disaster-affected urban areas. Teams use advanced tools, techniques, and training to safely navigate debris, assess structural stability, and extract individuals needing assistance. Their goal is to save lives quickly while ensuring safety for both victims and responders. USAR teams often work in collaboration with medical personnel, engineers, and fire services during natural disasters, accidents, or terrorist incidents, aiming to mitigate the impact and facilitate recovery efforts in urban environments.
