What's in the backpack?!
sounds like it's a gps transponder
Probably something other than gps, because that doesnt work when under a bunch of rubble. Well thats what i assume because gps doesnt even work inside uncollapsed buildings.
It's some kind of tracker regardless, more info and action pics(!) here: https://apopo.org/innovation-2023/?v=7885444af42e

Some sort of signal emitter maybe? So the rescue team knows to look where the hero rat triggered it.
Its little lunch and a sweater the doc packed in case it's cold.
I do hope it has a little speaker that says "don't worry human, help is on its way" in a cute high pitched voice.
My guess would be an accelerometer. Then you can plot out the mouses path and get the location of the person
