Book Description
The concept of rescuing humans in man-made or natural disasters is marked with risk, and demands commitment, training, accuracy, timeliness and deliverance. The vision, scope and goals of RESCUE 1122 as life saving organization are all well-tethered into its organizational structure, training, resources and operational practices [R1]. However, the fast evolving dynamics of Pakistani society as in urbanization and its parallel rural co-exist have an interplay with ever increasing mandate of RESCUE 1122 to cover a wider ambit of activities. This confluence gives rise to a a new spectrum of problems ranging from traffic congestion in cities to a inertial nonacceptance in rural settings. Such retarding factors to RESCUE 1122 services undermine the operational preparedness and efficiency of the organization. The observership was undertaken with an avid focus on the technological aspects of RESCUE 1122 to identify areas where the technology could be optimized as such or if need be, a new suite of IT-solutions could be suggested to address emerging issues. This consolidated report takes a stepwise approach to understand intra-RESCUE 1122 technology-based departmental activities, the interfacing with external agencies including patients, hospitals, traffic wardens, and service providers such as TPL, IDS, ISPs, PTCL, and other government bodies. It then identifies the obvious and non-obvious ineptness through the personal exposure of the observer in rescue missions and through the feedback received from the staff. As the most important and final step, concrete recommendations are made which serve in two ways; a) to address the shortcomings of the operational areas in order to meet desired goals in a better way, and b) to augment altogether new dimensions to the services which compliment the existing ones. Extraneous to the purview, but highly relevant problems of national significance including terrorism and sabotage and power crisis are also taken into broader consideration to make the report adept to incumbent and more strategic national needs.
