How it's used
This term is formal and typically used in news reports or official announcements regarding accidents, natural disasters, or emergency situations. While it refers to professional rescue teams, it is not used to describe a friend helping you out of a minor jam. It carries a sense of authority and organized effort that distinguishes it from casual assistance.
