1 +Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) operations take place in challenging conditions that impose specific **operational demands** on responders and technology. This section of the SYNERGISE USAR project wiki outlines the real-world context in which USAR teams work across Europe, ensuring our system design is grounded in actual field needs. It is informed by practitioner interviews, **INSARAG** guidelines, and field observations. The following subpages detail key aspects of the operational environment and how they influence requirements:

3 +* (((
4 +**[[1. Environment>>Main.sdf.Environments.WebHome]] **– Describes the physical and operational conditions of disaster sites (e.g. collapsed structures, hazards, weather).
5 +)))
6 +* (((
7 +**[[2. FR Organisation>>Main.sdf.FR Organisation.WebHome]] **– Explains USAR team hierarchy, interagency coordination, and how structures vary across European countries.
8 +)))
9 +** (((
10 +**[[Task division in USAR missions>>Main.sdf.FR Organisation.Task division in USAR missions.WebHome]] **– Illustrates how tasks are split among team members at a rescue site and how work is coordinated on the ground.

12 +** (((
13 +**[[ASR levels>>Main.sdf.FR Organisation.ASR levels.WebHome]] **– Defines the five sequential **Assessment, Search and Rescue (ASR) levels** (ASR1–ASR5) and clarifies which teams perform which phases of operation
14 +)))
15 +* (((
16 +**[[3. Stakeholders>>Main.sdf.Stakeholders.WebHome]]** – Direct and indirect stakeholders of the SYNERGISE use cases and scenario
17 +)))
18 +* (((
19 +**[[4. Personas & Problem Scenarios>>Main.sdf.4\. Scenarios & Personas.WebHome]] **– Personas created for the use cases as well as the problem scenario's relating to those personas
20 +)))
21 +
22 +Each page highlights implications for system design and provides links to related topics (e.g. **Stakeholders**, **Personas**, **Use Cases**, **Human Factors**). This modular guide allows engineers, human-factors experts, and stakeholders to navigate the complex USAR context and align the SYNERGISE system with operational reality.
