Strategic ConsiderationsThe most effective rescue strategy should blend all viable tacticalcapabilities into a logical plan of operation. The general strategicconsiderations are outlined as follows:Rescue Site Management and CoordinationEach rescue work site must have one person in charge to maintainunity of command. The Rescue Squad Officer of each rescuesquad is responsible for all activities of the assigned rescue siteincluding safety when a single squad operates alone. At large orcomplex rescue operations that require the commitment of two ormore rescue squads to a single operation, the Rescue TeamManager may assume command or assign one of the RescueSquad Officers to be in charge of the site. A Safety Officer shouldbe identified at each rescue site.Search PhasesThere are generally five phases of organized search and rescueoperations at collapse incidents:Phase One: Assessment of the collapse area.Phase Two: Removal of all surface victims as quickly andsafely as possible.Phase Three: Search and rescue of victims from accessiblevoid spaces.Phase Four: Selected debris removal to locate and rescuevictims.Phase Five: General debris removal. Usually conducted afterall known victims have been removed.15 Sep 2006US&R-23-FG5- 1
