Résumé

The Rescue Act provides for the functions, organisation and rights of a rescue service agency, the involvement of the Defence Forces and the Defence League in the performance of the functions of a rescue service agency, and the rights and obligations of persons participating voluntarily in the activity of a rescue service agency. The aim of the activity of a rescue service agency is to establish and maintain a safe living environment, prevent threats and render prompt and professional assistance. The activity of a rescue service agency is aimed at preventing rescue events endangering the life, health and property of persons and the environment, at ascertaining a threat, at countering a threat, and at alleviating the effects of a rescue event, unless otherwise provided by other Acts. The fundamentals of planning the activity of a rescue service agency are regional hazards. A hazard is deemed to be a person, phenomenon, process, object or other indicator or an interaction between them, based on the regional location and frequency of which it may be deemed likely that a threat will arise. Voluntary rescuers may participate voluntarily in the activities of the Rescue Board on the bases and pursuant to the procedure provided for in Chapter 7 of this Act.
