On 6 October 2021 Poland virtually hosted the 3rd INSARAG Global Meeting. The network of policy and technical experts discussed and deliberated on new ways of delivering value-added life-saving assistance, aiming to be fit for the future.
The event provided an opportunity for USAR teams from all over the world to share their expertise and to learn from best practices across the regions striving for a global approach. During the 3rd IGM, the Warsaw Declaration was approved and launched. The theme of the meeting was “Strengthen Quality, Predictability, Speed and Flexibility in Support of National and Local Capacities.”
