C. 1. Read the text SEARCH AND RESCUE and answer the questions:

1. What does search and rescue involve?

2. What is the goal of a search and rescue operation in a disaster situation?

Search and rescue (SAR) is the search for and provision of aid to people who are in distress or imminent danger. Search and Rescue involves not only searching for missing people and rescuing injured hikers, climbers, skiers, hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts, but body recoveries, evidence searches and disaster response as well. The general field of search and rescue includes many sub-fields, mostly based upon terrain considerations. These include mountain rescue; ground search and rescue, including the use of search and rescue dogs; urban search and rescue in cities.

SAR task forces are expected to be totally self-sufficient for the first 72 hours of a deployment. The equipment cache used to support a task force can weigh more than 60,000 pounds and is worth more than $1.4 million US. USAR task forces can:

conduct physical search-and-rescue in collapsed buildings;

provide emergency medical care to trapped victims;

utilize search and rescue dogs to find survivors of the collapse;

assess and control utilities and hazardous materials;

evaluate and stabilize damaged structures.

In a disaster situation the goal of a search and rescue operation is to rescue the greatest number of people in the shortest amount of time, while minimizing the risk to the rescuers.

Rescue comprises responsive operations that usually involve the saving of life, or prevention of injury during an incident or dangerous situation. Tools used might include search dogs, search and rescue horses, helicopters and other hydraulic cutting and spreading tools used to extricate individuals from wrecked vehicles. Rescue operations are sometimes supported by special vehicles such as fire department's or EMS heavy rescue vehicle.

Ropes and special devices can reach and remove individuals and animals from difficult locations including: air-sea rescue; cave rescue; combat search and rescue; confined space rescue; fast water rescue; ice rescue; mines rescue; rope rescue; search and rescue; ski patrol rescue; urban search and rescue; vehicle rescue; wilderness rescue.

Rescue operations require a high degree of training and are performed by rescue squads, either independent or part of larger organizations such as fire, police, military, first aid, or ambulance services. In the US, they are usually staffed by medically trained personnel.

There are many different definitions of search and rescue, depending on the agency involved.

Unites States Defense Department: A search is "an operation normally coordinated by a Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) using available personnel and facilities to locate persons in distress". And rescue is "an operation to retrieve persons in distress, provide for their initial medical or other needs, and deliver them to a place of safety.

Search and Rescue has a number of categories. Those categories and definitions include:

Mountain rescue relates to search and rescue operations specifically in rugged and mountainous terrain. Missions in this category may take place not only on mountainous terrain but also in forests and deserts, caves and canyons, on rivers and lakes, and so on.

Ground search and rescue is the search for persons who are lost or in distress on land or inland waterways. Traditionally associated with wilderness zones, ground search and rescue services are increasingly required in urban and suburban areas to locate persons Alzheimer' disease, autism, dementia, or other conditions that lead to wandering behaviour. Some ground search teams also employ search and rescue dogs. Dogs and their handlers undergo extensive and ongoing training.

Marine Search & Rescue: In the U.S. these types of missions are often carried out by the Coast Guard.

Urban search and rescue (US&R) is the location and rescue of persons from collapsed buildings or other urban and industrial entrapments, involving citizens following earthquakes, storms, flooding and other natural and human-caused disasters. Due to the specialized nature of the work, most teams are multi-disciplinary and include personnel from police, fire and emergency medical services. Unlike traditional ground search and rescue workers, most US&R responders also have basic training in structural collapse and the dangers associated with live electrical wires, broken natural gas lines and other hazards. While earthquakes have traditionally been the cause of US&R operations, terrorist attacks and extreme weather such as tornadoes and hurricanes have also resulted in the deployment these resources.

USAR task forces can conduct physical search-and-rescue in collapsed buildings.

Rescue operations require a high degree of training.
