ZIMM Global Emergency Rescue Force (ZERF) deploys within 24 hours of any disaster in Pakistan — a standing, trained, and equipped volunteer team that has responded to 12+ major emergencies since 2018.
When disaster strikes in Pakistan, the first 24 hours are critical. ZIMM Global's Emergency Rescue Force (ZERF) is designed for exactly this window — a standing team of 80+ trained volunteers, pre-positioned supplies, and a rapid deployment protocol that allows it to reach affected communities faster than most government agencies.

- Multiple urban fire responses in Karachi's katchi abadis
