Search and Rescue (SAR) refers to the operations undertaken to locate and assist individuals who are in distress or imminent danger, typically in emergency situations such as natural disasters, accidents, or incidents at sea or in remote areas. SAR operations can involve a variety of resources, including trained personnel, specialized equipment, and technology such as helicopters, boats, and drones. The primary goal of search and rescue is to locate missing persons, provide medical assistance, and facilitate safe recovery or evacuation. These operations are often coordinated by governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, or volunteer groups, and they may take place on land, in maritime environments, or in the air, depending on the specific circumstances of the emergency.
