CAS is a disciplined auxiliary service working closely with other full-time disciplinary forces. Adult members are trained to perform emergency duties during natural disasters. They play a vital role in search and rescue operations like finding hikers in distress or victims trapped under collapsed buildings or buried in landslips. They also help combat hill fires and oil spills.
