Wisdom of (using) the crowds: Enhancing disasters preparedness through public training in Light Search and Rescue
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "International journal of disaster risk reduction"
DOI: 10.1016/j.ijdrr.2018.07.027
Abstract: Abstract Following major earthquakes, the vast majority of trapped survivors are rescued by layperson with the first 24–48 h. Most trapped individuals require only Light Search and Rescue (LSR). Therefore, there is sense in training members… read more here.
