crisis responder
Disaster relief worker
A crisis responder is someone trained to provide immediate assistance during emergencies—natural disasters, mass casualty events, mental health crises, or other urgent situations.
The term covers a range of roles: paramedics, emergency counselors, disaster relief workers, and those staffing suicide hotlines.
Crisis responders arrived within minutes of the earthquake.
The emphasis is on rapid intervention when stakes are highest.
