Hjelpekorps logo
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.
Today, there are over 300 local Search and Rescue Corps around in the country with over 6000 members. All members is qualified in search and rescue, and First Aid. The NRCSRC is one of the biggest agencies in Norway doing voluntary rescue operations. Norway's entire rescue service is based on volunteerism. There is a professional rescue service, but this is reserved and often not enough to carry out the assignment.
The NRCSRC main task is to assist various national agencies. For example, assist police in the search for missing person(s), assist the medical service to help an injured person down from a mountain or assist the Joint Rescue Coordinating Center to locate and assist lost persons in the bad weather. 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.
All efforts from the membership are voluntary. The equipment used is also paid for with funds collected through volunteer efforts.
