It is recommended that all Member States participating in INSARAG designate policy and operational points-of-contact for appropriate and effective information exchange, in accordance with the respective national disaster management structure. It is also encouraged that each USAR Team designate an official to act at the USAR Team Focal Point. In the preparedness and response phases, INSARAG Focal Points serve as the primary link and information channel between the Member State and the INSARAG network. This is particularly important in response to emergencies to ensure an effective information flow between the affected country and the potential international responders. Regional, intergovernmental and international organisations participating in INSARAG are also encouraged to designate a Point of Contact (POC).

为了实现适当、有效的信息交流，建议所有 INSARAG 成员国根据各自的国家灾害管理体系指定政策和行动联络员，鼓励每个 USAR 队伍指定 1 名人员担任 USAR 队伍联络员。在准备和响应阶段，INSARAG 联络员充当成员国和 INSARAG 组织之间的主要联络纽带和信息渠道，以使受灾国和潜在的国际响应者之间进行有效的信息交流，这在灾害应急响应体系中非常重要。同时，鼓励 INSARAG 区域组织、政府间组织和国际组织指定联络员（POC）。
