The Rescue Squad is a public benefit organization.
Rescue squads aim to provide emergency rescue and assistance to people in distress. These organizations are usually made up of volunteers who give their time and energy freely to provide rescue services to others. The duties of a rescue team include, but are not limited to, disaster rescue, accident rescue, wilderness search and rescue, and emergency medical assistance.
Members of the rescue team are usually professionally trained and have certain rescue skills and knowledge. They are able to cope with a variety of emergencies, including earthquakes, floods, fires, traffic accidents and so on. Rescue teams are also equipped with advanced rescue equipment, such as ambulances, lifeboats and search and rescue dogs, to better carry out rescue missions.
Funds for the activities of rescue teams usually come from government grants, social donations and volunteers' self-financing. These funds are used to purchase rescue equipment, train volunteers and organize rescue operations. The work of rescue teams is unpaid and their goal is to protect people's lives and social stability.
Role of Rescue Teams:
1. Providing Emergency Rescue Services: Rescue Teams are professional teams that respond to the scene of a disaster in the first instance. They quickly arrive at the scene after the disaster to carry out search and rescue, medical assistance, evacuation of trapped people, in order to minimize casualties and property damage. Rescue workers are specially trained and equipped to perform efficiently in dangerous and complex environments.
2. Maintaining a smooth lifeline: In disasters, infrastructure such as communications, transportation, water supply and power supply are often damaged, affecting rescue operations and the lives of people in the affected areas. Rescue teams are responsible for restoring and safeguarding these lifelines, including repairing communication lines, clearing road obstacles, setting up temporary water supply points and power supply facilities, etc., so as to ensure that rescue materials and personnel can reach the disaster areas in a timely manner.
3. Coordination of resources and information management: Rescue teams play a key role in coordinating resources and information from all parties in disaster response. They work with government departments, NGOs, volunteer groups, etc., to coordinate the distribution of rescue forces and materials, and ensure that rescue operations are carried out in an orderly manner.
