RECORD OF CHANGES
This page is intentionally left blank FOREWORD This Operations Manual has been prepared to guide Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) personnel perform Federal disaster response operations during major disasters or emergencies. The National Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Response System provides for the coordination, development, and maintenance of the Federal effort with resources to locate, extricate, and provide immediate medical treatment to victims trapped in collapsed structures, and to conduct other life saving operations. The US&R Response System methods of operation, organization, capabilities, and procedures in mobilization, on-site operations, and demobilization are described in this document. Questions, comments, and suggested improvements related to this manual are encouraged. Inquires, information, and requests for additional copies should be directed in writing to FEMA, Response and Recovery Directorate, Operations and Planning Division, Emergency Services Branch, 500 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472. _________________________ Lacy E.
