rescue network

Emergency assistance system

A rescue network is an organized group that coordinates efforts to save people or animals from dangerous situations.

The term often describes underground operations helping refugees, trafficking victims, or persecuted groups reach safety: The rescue network smuggled dissidents across the border.

It also applies to animal welfare organizations that coordinate foster homes and adoptions: She found her dog through a rescue network.
