The Region-10 volunteer search-and-rescue team in Kazakhstan’s Kostanay Region has been searching for missing people and helping those in distress for seven years. During that time, its volunteers have carried out more than 621 search-and-rescue operations and found 473 people alive.
The team now includes more than 180 active volunteers over the age of 18 and 30 teenagers. They work around the clock without pay.
Volunteers search in urban and natural environments, train new members, organize prevention activities and assist during emergencies.
