The INSARAG Steering Group is an open meeting, presided by the Global Chair, in which policy topics are being discussed amongst the Policy Focal Points of all Member States.

The ISG Meeting takes place every year during the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) in Geneva. The ISG Meeting comprises a Meeting of the Global and Regional Chairs, where the Global, Regional and Working Groups’ Chairs and the INSARAG Secretariat meet to finalise the discussions on decisions of the past year and to prepare the ISG General Meeting. The ISG General Meeting gathers Global, Regional and Working Groups’ Chairs, the INSARAG Secretariat and the INSARAG Policy Focal Points with representatives from INSARAG USAR Teams and partners, to discuss the developments of the previous year and to decide the direction for the year ahead. ISG decision making is undertaken by consensus by the Policy Focal Points.
