During June 10-14, as part of the external re-certification of the Polish heavy SAR team in the INSARAG framework, the Ukrainian rescuers have been involved in the deployment of Reception and Departure Center (RDC) that is used to provide support to affected countries in coordinating the international search and rescue teams and other humanitarian assistance, and the On-Site Operations Coordination Center (OSOCC).
The main objective is the rapid provision of means to facilitate on-site cooperation, coordination and information management between the international response parties and the affected country's government in the absence of an alternative system of coordination, as well as the provision of physical space for functioning as a single coordination point for arriving disaster response teams, in particular, in case of sudden disasters when coordination of multiple international response teams is crucial for providing optimum rescue efforts.
In total, 27 teams from 16 countries of the world participate in the re-certification of the Polish heavy SAR team: Czech Republic, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, the USA, etc.
