earthquake rescue
Rubble survivor retrieval
Earthquake rescue is the organized effort to find and extract survivors trapped in collapsed structures after an earthquake.
It typically involves specialized teams, search dogs, and heavy equipment working against time as survival chances diminish: Earthquake rescue operations continued through the night.
The phrase also covers broader emergency response—medical care, shelter, and relief for affected populations.
