The UIS Cave Rescue Commission (CRC) was founded as one of the first three Commissions of the UIS when it was established in 1965. The commission has worked well over the past decades. The CRC held conferences in different countries over the past four years and held commission meetings during International Congresses of Speleology (ICS). The meetings have dealt with different topics around rescue activity like medical, technical, communication, responsibility, insurance policy, legal, and other important aspects. Its tasks are to share rescue information and experiences among the UIS member countries. The last conference was held in Vaumarcus, Switzerland in 2015 and a short meeting was held in 2017 during the 17th ICS, in Sydney, Australia.
