Blue Sky Rescue

Blue Sky Rescue, established in 2007 by Mr. Zhang Yong, Chairman of the Blue Sky Rescue Foundation, has expanded to become the world’s largest rescue-focused International Humanitarian Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) with its origins in China, dedicated to executing critical volunteer rescue missions globally. Currently, Blue Sky Rescue deploys more than 220,000 team members and volunteers across 800 local teams in 9 countries to respond to humanitarian disasters worldwide. As of 2023, Blue Sky Rescue conducts over 20,000 rescue missions annually, assisting more than 32 million people each year. BSR’s work primarily focuses on leading or participating in emergency rescue operations for various natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, typhoons, floods, fires, mudslides, snowstorms) and human-caused disasters (e.g., collapsed buildings, large-scale explosions), including urban search and rescue, water rescues, mountain and wilderness search and rescue, pandemic sanitation, disaster prevention & mitigation education, and more. Over the years, Blue Sky Rescue has built an extensive portfolio of rescue intellectual property and assembled thousands of highly skilled professional instructors/trainers across a broad range of rescue specializations. Blue Sky Rescue adheres to principles of neutrality and independence, with no involvement in politics, religion, race, or gender, offering volunteer rescue services and doing its utmost to save lives in any crisis.
