Cyborg cockroaches that can be remotely controlled and powered by solar cells could help locate survivors of earthquakes trapped under rubble in the future, a new breakthrough by Japanese researchers suggests. The research involves equipping cockroaches with a flexible solar film while sending directional signals into sensory organs on the bug's hi...

In a maiden initiative, a squad of 162 dogs is being raised by the NDRF to aid its personnel in rescuing people trapped under debris in the aftermath of natural calamities like earthquake.

Spontaneous tweets about major floods are being turned into a mapping tool that could be used by emergency services and disaster response teams to save lives and provide aid, Dutch researchers said.
