PREPARING FOR SAVING LIVES
We are a voluntary organization specializing in search and rescue, disaster recovery, and emergency medical response across national and international areas.
Caribbean Urban Search And Rescue Foundation
Caribbean Urban Search And Rescue is a voluntary organization that since 2014 has been participating in response to national and international disaster systems.
CUSAR is a team of people who specialize in search and rescue, disaster recovery, and emergency medical response. The purpose of CUSAR is based on Search and rescue in urban areas giving support to the local authorities; we come into play when the magnitude of the event is greater than the capacity for the response of the local authorities, or whenever it requires our assistance.
Three Core Objectives
