Abstract
In the search and rescue of building collapse victims
time is critical. Rescuers need to be equipped with
technologies and methods that match and support their
courage and determination to save lives. VTT has played a
leading role in instrument development for the EU-funded
Second Generation Locator for Urban Search and Rescue
Operations (SGL for USaR) project. VTT's aim was to
provide technological support to enable maximum effective
use of the limited time available to rescue teams.
