GOVERNMENT
Rescue Global worked with governments worldwide in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters. Our vision was one where events that become disasters would be less frequent and less impactful, and that nations have real resilience to withstand them.
We worked to enable and empower decision makers at nation-state level through collaborative projects, training, liaison, mentoring, and disaster reconnaissance missions.
Rescue Global worked with governments in Disaster Risk Reduction and Response (DRR&R) throughout all phases of the disaster cycle: preparation, response, recovery
The guiding principles of our actions were that we must:
Empower local, national and regional decision makers
Do no harm to local capacity and levels of resilience in place, especially in the response phase
Improve the connectivity between NGOs and official agencies, in order to foster resilience and build local capacity
Strive to work ourselves out of a reason for existing, enabling a country to plan, prepare, respond and recover without the need for international aid
Our teams worked to the highest levels of professionalism and integrity, guided by our organisational values and governance.
We held full ISO 9001:2015 certification in Quality and Risk Management. All of our activities followed a rigorous planning process, following the industry-approved Management of Risk (MoR) system. We took the best of military and emergency services planning and operations procedures to develop our own, externally-audited, highly professional practices. We held comprehensive insurance suited to the projects that we undertake and the environments where we work.
