5 6 Incident Management SCENE OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS rrmaintain immediate scene safety LACES. rrestablish communications between USAR Tactical Advisor and emergency services in attendance. rrinner and outer cordons with scene access control points. rrclear restricted area of public and non-essential personnel. rrappoint key personnel (Search Coordinator, Rescue Coordinator, USAR Safety Advisor, Logistics Supervisor). rrrequest other agencies/key personnel (utilities, structural engineer, air/rail accident investigation, health & safety). rrrequest site manager/building plans etc. rridentify key areas: RVP, safe access/egress routes, logistics, holding areas, casualty clearing, decontamination, evacuation point, welfare, parking, media. rrgather information on the incident, structures/transport, safety and resources. rrdetail and brief assessment team. rrestablish communications plan. rrprepare relevant documentation (operational forms, analytical risk assessment, lifting plans, confined space permit to work/risk assessment, decision-making log, etc.).

C D US2 14 JAN US2 14 JAN 9 INSARAG Marking Systems
7 Urban Search & Rescue Operations SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS rrbeware of exposed services (USAR equipment may not be intrinsically safe and often conducts electricity). rrensure area/void being searched is adequately lit and crew is protected (shored, clear access / egress, overhead hazards). rrensure air is monitored where required (including CBRN). OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS rrall crews to book in and out of restricted area. rrensure area is as noise-free as possible. rrperform initial line and hail sweep. rrperform hasty acoustic / seismic search / deploy canines. rrco-ordinate calls for silence between crews. rrensure voids are adequately mapped. rrget victim hit clarified by other search means. rrdivide search area into mapping grid. rrperform thorough seismic / acoustic / audio-visual searches. TECHNICAL SEARCH RESOURCES Loud-hailer and radios Thermal image camera Lighting units & light-sticks Canine search team Listening device / search camera Laser rangefinder Digital camera and printer GPS & local maps Cable detection tools Atmosphere monitor First aid/resuscitation kits Binoculars UAVs / drones Line rescue/search team Online data (satellite imagery, weather, etc.) 13 Search Operations
8 Urban Search & Rescue Operations ASR LEVEL 3: RAPID SEARCH AND RESCUE Conducted in the early stages of an incident. rrusar teams appointed to worksite(s). rrrescue commitment comprising of debris removal, shoring, and limited breaching and breaking. rrlimited penetration into structure/debris pile, with most rescue operations completed within hours. rridentify worksites requiring Level 4 operations (which may happen concurrently if resources are available). ASR LEVEL 4: FULL SEARCH AND RESCUE rridentify, locate and rescue heavily trapped casualties. rrpenetration into the most accessible survivable voids. rrextensive technical search, shoring, lifting and moving and breaching and breaking operations. rrpossible confined space working. rrinter-agency cooperation. ASR LEVEL 5: TOTAL SEARCH AND RECOVERY Moving from rescue to recovery and transfer of responsibility. rrtransition must be given serious consideration. rrdelamination of the debris pile/structure to confirm no live casualties and to recover the deceased. rrsearches repeated as delamination occurs. rrmay require heavy machinery, cranes etc. rrclose liaison with structural/demolition engineers required. rrmaintain minimum numbers of personnel in the risk area. 15 ASR Levels
9 LOADS ON A DEVIATION POINT When a line deviates by an angle A, the load on the deviation point is given by the line tension T multiplied by the deviation factor D. The line tension T is equal to M as it can slide freely through the deviation, so:- F = M D e.g. if A = 45 and M = 100kg, the deviation load F = 75kg For lifting and moving always keep the deviation angle A below 90. T=M Angle A Deviation factor D s Urban Search & Rescue Operations F A M If the deviation has high friction and the rope is moving in either direction, F will be up to twice as high as the above figures indicate. 21 Load Angles
