ITALIAN SEARCH AND RESCUE - USAR

Case Study by: CP CASES

Built to serve and protect in the field

As part of the European Civilian Defence, the Italian Ministry of Interior is making their contribution with their Urban Search and Rescue teams (USAR).

The Challenge

Italian USAR teams are tasked for immediate intervention in case of natural disaster, deploying both in the homeland and abroad. Accordingly, they are in constant state of operational readiness and qualified for air lift operations, using It.A.F. C130 and C27 aircrafts. Rapid deployment of equipment that is both secure and easy to transport is imperative and this is where CP Cases works to ease the stress on operations.

The Solution

Amazon cases plays a vital role in keeping all their equipment and hardware neatly stored and ready to move, sorted on the base of the operational profile expected in the specific mission. The entire spectrum of USAR equipment is accommodated: e.g. hydraulic tools, radios, tents, lights, thermal cameras, sensors and computers for human rescue, first aid medical devices.

The Italian Fire Service USAR organisation is composed of four heavy teams, 12 medium teams and 45 light teams (some of them still under construction). All of them trust in the capabilities of Amazon.
