Fire and Emergency New Zealand USAR successfully passed our INSARAG reclassification as a USAR Heavy Team!
Today we are pleased to announce that Fire and Emergency New Zealand USAR successfully passed our INSARAG reclassification as a USAR Heavy Team! The announcement was made by the Secretariat representative Dewey Perks following an intense 36-hour exercise south of Auckland where even the weather couldn’t deter the grit and determination of our Rescue Technicians, Logistics and support staff!
On the same day we also deployed personnel to Papua New Guinea to assist with the devastating landslide in Enga province.
INSARAG STATEMENT
A word from our INSARAG Global Chairman
In light of the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic that affects all of us, the INSARAG network will have to jointly adopt a high degree of flexibility in order to adapt to this evolutive situation. Implementing a flexible approach in facing modern humanitarian crises, as discussed during the INSARAG 2020 Steering Group meeting, would enable the network to continue providing high quality assistance in emergency preparedness and response, to the people we serve.
Ambassador Manuel Bessler
INSARAG Chairman
