rescue teams
Disaster response groups
Rescue teams are organized groups trained to find and save people in emergencies—natural disasters, accidents, building collapses, or wilderness situations.
The term covers professional units like search and rescue squads, firefighters, and coast guard crews, as well as volunteer organizations.
Rescue teams worked through the night to reach survivors trapped in the rubble.
