A rescue operation refers to a coordinated effort by emergency services, military personnel or volunteers to locate and evacuate individuals who are in danger or distress. This can include situations such as natural disasters like floods, earthquakes or hurricanes where people may be trapped or stranded; search and rescue missions for lost or missing persons; or humanitarian efforts to save lives during conflicts or crises. The goal of a rescue operation is to locate those in need, provide them with aid, comfort and support, and safely evacuate them from the dangerous situation they are facing.
