The London Fire Brigade =L.F.B. and other U.K. Emergency Services designed a system for Collapse Rescue during the "WWII Blitz" that is the basis for most Collapse Procedures. The 1st priority is the removal of Surface Causalities, so those victims are removed before any secondary collapse.
Followed shortly or concurrently with the stabilization of the utilities, electrical, water, gas and, as possible the building itself, in order to prevent further danger to those trapped. The "Golden Day" = the first 24 hours after the collapse is when most people are found alive.
