Norwegian Red Cross Search and Rescue Corps

The Norwegian Red Cross Search and Rescue Corps or the NRCSRC/SRC (Norwegian: Norges Røde Kors Hjelpekorps) was created in 1932 as a support for civil society in the event of war, and particularly with gas attacks in other cities.

In addition, the corps gives medical manpower to various events in the community (e. g. concerts, soccer matches), doing first aid instruction, and in some locations ambulance services to relieve the local ambulance from transportation of a non-critical patient.

Anyone who wants to be an active member in the corps must complete a basic introduction of Red Cross.

When they have completed their full training of First Aid, Radio Communications, and Basic course in Search and Rescue, they are qualified members.

All members must pass a practical and theoretical examination in first aid and do a reassessment of all subjects every three years.
