  1. US&R Planning

  2. US&R Planning Issues • Establish authority and responsibility • Assess vulnerability and hazards • Identify resources • Coordination of response • Training issues • Budgetary needs • Phases of rescue

  3. Legal Authority and Responsibilities • Who’s responsible? • Local fire or law enforcement • State agencies • Federal agencies • State Governor • National Guard Response • President - Federal Response Plan • US&R Deployment

  4. Assessment and Hazards Vulnerability • What events can happen? • Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, bombings, avalanches, explosions, etc. • What events have occurred in the past? • What are the “Target Hazards” • Dams, power plants, high density population areas, masonry structures, chemical plants, etc.

  5. Resources • Use local resources first • Additional assistance from the State, then Feds • Local authorities maintain command and control

  6. Identify Resources • Identify the resource • Identify the capabilities of the resource • Resource contact information and procedures • Identify the response time

  7. Resource Types • Local • Fire, law enforcement, and medical • Community response teams • Volunteer assistance organizations • Public works and utilities • Private contractors/citizens

  8. Resource Type • State • Mutual Aid • OES • National Guard • Federal • FEMA: ESF-9 • US&R Task Force Teams • Other Federal Agencies • DoD, DoT,etc

  9. Response Coordination • At Incident - IC • Establish command • Provides initial orders • Request resources • EOC - Emergency Operations Center • Local and State sites • Required at large incidents • Gathers information and coordinates activities

  10. EOC Activities • Collection of information and executive decisions • Location of problems and number of victims • Available and needed resources • Road and infrastructure conditions • Evacuation centers and shelter locations • Collection and dissemination of information • Planning for future needs • Documentation and cost recovery

  11. EOC Levels • Local • County • State • Funnels info to the ROC • Federal – Regional Op Centers • 10 response regions • Funnels info to EICC in Washington DC

  12. Training • Local • Fire, law enforcement, EMS • Other local resources • Volunteer, public works and utilities, Red Cross • Government departments, schools, hospitals, business, community groups

  13. Training Issues • Hazard planning and assessment • Scene organization and management • Safety and self-sufficiency • Basic first aid, CPR • Basic search and rescue techniques • Basic utility and fire control techniques • Specialized US&R training for first responders

  14. Budgetary Needs • Tools and equipment • Training supplies and props • Disaster supplies and communications equipment • EOC needs • Mitigation measures • Equipment maintenance • Continuing education

  15. Four Phases of Structural Collapse • Phase 1 - Size Up and Surface Rescue • Phase 2 – Search Void Areas • Phase 3 – Selected Debris Removal • Phase 4 – General Debris Removal

  16. Phase 1 • Size Up • Begins immediately after the incident • Identify problems, hazards, resources needed • Establish scene control – SEMS. ICS • Open EOC • Establish staging, treatment areas, develop IAP • Surface Victim Rescue • Rescues by spontaneous rescue teams • Accounts for 50% of total collapse victims • RS1 – Combines size up and surface rescue into one phase

  17. Phase 2 • Search all assessable areas and void spaces • Use of collected intelligence info, search teams, dogs, high tech devices, • Rescue “lightly” entrapped - 30% • Furniture, machinery, light debris • Rescue from void spaces - 15% • Structural debris

  18. Phase 3 • Selected debris removal and rescue of entombed victims • Rescue of heavily entrapped - 5% • Procedures • Remove or minimize all rescue personnel from area • Select areas with highest probability of victim survival • Remove debris from TOP down • Mark debris to prevent duplicate search efforts • Recovery of deceased victims

  19. Phase 4 • General debris removal • Body recovery most probable • Use of heavy equipment • Coordinate with law enforcement or coroner officials
