Golden window after an earthquake
The first 72 hours — and the very first seconds of self-protection (Drop, Cover, Hold On) — are decisive for survival. Preparedness training focuses on these critical moments.

Framework
INSARAG
The International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG) is a network of disaster-prone and responding countries and organisations under the United Nations OCHA. It deals with urban search-and-rescue (USAR) related issues, setting global standards for how international teams prepare, deploy and coordinate after a collapse or major disaster.
- Common methodology & classification for USAR teams
- Coordination between international and local responders
- Guidelines that inform our training modules
Urban Search & Rescue
INSARAG classifies response teams as Light, Medium or Heavy, ensuring the right capacity reaches a disaster zone. Our "Light Search & Rescue Awareness" module aligns community volunteers with these internationally recognised principles.
Emergency Medical Teams
EMTs are classified by the WHO according to the level of care they provide — from outpatient emergency care to inpatient surgical facilities — so that medical response after a disaster is predictable, safe and coordinated.
Framework
EMT — Emergency Medical Teams
The World Health Organization’s Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) Initiative improves the quality and coordination of medical teams that deploy after disasters and outbreaks. It sets minimum standards for clinical care, self-sufficiency and reporting.
- Classified team types (Type 1, 2, 3 & specialised cells)
- Minimum standards for safe, timely care
- Complements our Psychological First Aid module
