International Response
For over 30 years, our team has responded to disasters, using seismic detectors to locate victims and specialist tools to rescue those trapped under rubble.
International Response Team
Serve On’s International Response Team (IRT) comprises a highly trained team of experts available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, to save lives by responding to disasters anywhere in the world.
Local people who have escaped the disaster are often able to dig out casualties close to the surface. Rescues made by our team are most often from deep within a collapsed building and some have taken over 20 hours to complete requiring the use of specialist technical search equipment and rescue equipment. Successful use of this equipment is due to the huge experience gained by the team in real disaster situations and many hours of simulation training.
The IRT and has over 30 years experience. Deployments have included to India, Pakistan, Haiti, Türkiye, and Nepal. On occasion teams were deployed from our headquarters within hours of the disaster and were able to start their rescue work immediately on landing, making their first rescues within 24 hours. Each team takes enough resources to sustain their time in the country to make sure that they are only a positive asset to the local communities.
