INSARAG CLASSIFICATION
The INSARAG community acknowledges the importance of
providing rapid professional USAR support during disasters
which result in structural collapse. In an effort to achieve
this objective and the need to ensure that only qualified and
appropriate international USAR resources are deployed to an
emergency, the INSARAG community has developed a voluntary,
independent, peer review process, the INSARAG External
Classification (IEC). To ensure that a USAR team’s international
response capability remains current and continues to
subscribe to the INSARAG methodology, the INSARAG External
Reclassification (IER) process has also been endorsed. Taken
together these two processes form the INSARAG Classification
System.
