The Search and Rescue Project: Emerging Technologies for Early Location of Entrapped Victims Under Collapsed Structures and Advanced Wearables for Risk Assessment and First Responder Safety in SAR Operations
摘要
Extreme weather events currently observed on a global scale have been correlated with the current “climate crisis,” which, combined with population growth and urbanization, has exacerbated the consequences in terms of disaster casualties, property losses, and environmental impacts. The Search and Rescue project, among other related initiatives, has implemented part of the Disaster Risk and Resilience priorities outlined in the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Its primary goal was to establish and promote a comprehensive framework encompassing system and equipment interoperability, training, and awareness by providing cutting-edge technologies and innovative tools for the first responders.
