Abstract: (4185 Views)
The occurrence of widespread natural disasters, especially in large cities, is always accompanied by negative consequences, disorder, and chaos. In the meantime, the role of specialized forces in rescuing people trapped under rubble and providing initial care to the injured is very limited in terms of quantity, because the time and physical extent of the incident are the factors that determine the success of the rescue operation. Many variables are involved in relief and rescue operations. Past experiences have proven that in major disasters such as devastating earthquakes, a large volume of rescue activities is carried out by the people themselves and in the early hours after the incident. These actions usually lack predefined management and structure, and overall, they cause damage to the injured and survivors and also destroy countless opportunities to save human lives.
Training semi-professional forces at the local level based on the neighborhood unit will result in better organization and quality of search and rescue activities for the injured, and the guidance of specialized forces will be more competent based on appropriate and timely information of the people's forces. Organized acceleration of relief and rescue activities, in addition to reducing irreparable damage to an acceptable level, will also accelerate the exit from critical situations and the return to normal. This article has attempted to present some of the technical information on search and rescue that can be taught at the general and universal level.
