rescue techniques
Emergency extraction procedures
Rescue techniques are methods used to extract people from dangerous situations—collapsed buildings, swift water, mountain cliffs, vehicle wreckage.
The term appears in emergency response, military, and outdoor recreation contexts.
Different environments require specialized approaches: swift-water rescue techniques, high-angle rescue techniques, confined-space rescue techniques.
Training in rescue techniques is standard for firefighters, paramedics, and search-and-rescue teams.
