A collaborative mechanism should be established to enhance regional coordination, use nearby rescue forces and resources to improve efficiency, and establish real-time communication systems for accurate and prompt reporting and disseminating external information to prevent risks arising that are related to public opinion, she said.

Ideally, to ensure the rapid deployment of forces, a green channel should be set up by local rescue management systems for qualified and professional rescue teams, Yan said.

However, there are still barriers between different regions and departments in terms of management authority. In addition, it is difficult for management to judge the professional level of unapproved rescue teams, which often leads to a team being denied access for safety reasons, she added.
