INSARAG was created in 1990 following the initiatives of the specialised international USAR Teams who operated together in the Mexican earthquake of 1985 and Armenian earthquake of 1988. INSARAG is an intergovernmental humanitarian network of disaster managers, government officials, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and USAR practitioners operating under the umbrella of the UN, and within the realm of its mandate contributes to the implementation of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.

INSARAG 成立于 1990 年，由参与过 1985 年墨西哥地震和 1988 年亚美尼亚地震联合行动的专业国际 USAR 队伍联合发起。INSARAG 是由灾害管理人员、政府官员、非政府组织和 USAR 队员组成的一个政府间人道主义工作网络，在联合国框架下运作，其被赋予的使命同样有助于国际减灾战略的贯彻实施。
