Water Rescue

HRT is honored to be hosting the annual convention of the International Maritime Rescue Federation (IMRF) which will take place in Thessaloniki, in November 2024.

Effective training practices are essential for professionals and volunteers that engage in Search and Rescue operations. They can enhance the capabilities of responders by preparing them to face critical situations while maximising their safety during missions.

Hellenic Rescue Team, along with 15 partners from Greece, Europe and South Korea, participates in the European project PathoCERT (Pathogen Contamination Emergency Response Technologies)

Over 1.500 refugees, adults and children, have been trained by Hellenic Rescue Team in First Aid, Fire and Natural Disasters Safety and self-protection through the “Learn-Prevent-Protect” project

With two volunteers, one from HRT Samos and one from HRT Headquarters, in Thessaloniki, HRT participated in this year’s International Maritime Rescue Federation (IMRF) Crew Exchange program.

An RS (Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue - Redningsselskapet) delegation visited between the 23rd and the 30th of September the HRT branches in Volos, Corfu and Irakleio.

For eighth consecutive year, Hellenic Rescue Team in cooperation with the Hellenic Air Force, conducted an aeronautical SAR training

They met with HRT Samos volunteers and were briefed about their rescue work, especially in the sea

The award was offered to HRT for its volunteers heroic acts and the overwhelming effort they made, risking their lives in order to save human lives at the sea
