Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) involves the location, rescue (extrication), and initial medical stabilisation of victims trapped in confined spaces. Structural collapse is most often the cause of victims being trapped, but victims may also be trapped in vehicle accidents, mines and collapsed trenches.
Urban Search and Rescue is considered a "multi-hazard" discipline, as it may be needed for a variety of emergencies or disasters, including earthquakes, hurricanes, storms and tornadoes, floods, terrorist activities, and hazardous materials releases.
The Urban Search and Rescue equipment offered by SAFCO is designed to help the rescuer(s) do their job whatever the circumstances.
