Description
Mass rescue operations are complex, confusing and extremely challenging for multiagency responders. Catastrophic Incident Search and Rescue was developed by the National Search and Rescue Committee (NSARC) to provide clear, definitive, standardized direction and information on search and rescue (SAR) during disasters. It covers federal response organization, incident management, critical considerations, specific field considerations organized by disaster type, and the impact of man-made disasters. For federal agencies, it is the guide on how to respond and provide SAR services during a disaster. The up-to-date guidance in this book will save lives. Catastrophic Incident Search and Rescue expands on the US National SAR Plan and the US National SAR Supplement to the International Aeronautical and Maritime SAR (IAMSAR) Manual. Version 3.0 provides additional information and lessons learned.
