Disaster Preparedness and Response Team

The driving force behind DPART comes from the slow progress of the present Civil Defence in Pakistan and the lack of emphasis on community/citizen based emergency preparedness.

Since 2006, the program has been further developed to provide assistance at Mass Casualty Incidents and response to collapsed structures to eventually be supporting within the tape operations.

At present DPART SAR has focused work on three distinct divisions, these are North, Central and South, North I and II are fully functional and consist of CFR: Community First responders, Community Training Team, Support section and Search and Rescue Training section.

Qualifying members are offered the option to progress throughout their voluntary careers with DPART as Team Leaders, Instructors or component specialists.
