Rescue

Rescue refers to emergency operations carried out to save people or animals from dangerous situations caused by natural disasters, accidents, extreme weather or environmental hazards. Rescue efforts can involve search and rescue teams, helicopters, boats, drones and coordinated emergency response systems operating on land, at sea or in the air.
