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:

This modular guide allows engineers, human-factors experts, and stakeholders to navigate the complex USAR context and align the SYNERGISE system with operational reality.
