INSARAG is a global network of more than 90 countries and organizations under the United Nations umbrella.

INSARAG STATEMENT
A word from our INSARAG Global Chairman
In light of the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic that affects all of us, the INSARAG network will have to jointly adopt a high degree of flexibility in order to adapt to this evolutive situation. Implementing a flexible approach in facing modern humanitarian crises, as discussed during the INSARAG 2020 Steering Group meeting, would enable the network to continue providing high quality assistance in emergency preparedness and response, to the people we serve.
Ambassador Manuel Bessler
