IFRA is and Association formed to give the UK’s independent Volunteer teams a national voice. Although you may think that such events as flooding or searching rivers, lakes and wetlands is covered by Search and Rescue teams in general, it is in fact a complicated and time consuming discipline that requires specialist equipment, exceptional fitness and motivation.

IFRA provides a focused, pragmatic approach to help it’s members comply to the regulations and assure the governing bodies a level of competence that they can be assured will be compatible with the other agencies used in flooding emergencies.

If you would like to Join IFRA we would be more than welcome to hear from you. Our Committee meet regularly to keep the member teams abreast of the best practices, training and equipment changes.
