3 1. Add search to the scope of both the Technical Committee on Rescue Technician Pro. Qual. and the NFPA 1006 standard, and address search thoroughly throughout the standard. Don Cooper to submit Public Input to Revise 1006 Table A.6.1.3(A), Force Conversion Table, to match 1670 Table A Revise 1006 Figure A.6.1.3(A) so that the loads are all described in kn and not in kg. Don Cooper already submitted Public Input on Item 3 to Items 2 and 3 also deferred to joint task group to reconcile - suggest standardizing with language in Revise 1006 Figure A , Sample Divemaster Level Watermanship Test, to match the latest version of the IADRS test of the same name. 5. Add and cite IADRS Basic Scuba Skills Evaluation like the one found in 1670 Figure A (b) Items 4 and 5 deferred to joint task group to reconcile 6. Add and cite the Nation SAR Committee Georeferencing table as included in the Land Search and Rescue Addendum to the National Search and Rescue Supplement to the IAMSAR (2011) and like the one found in 1670 Table A (8). Don Cooper to submit Public Input to Add Sloping and Benching information like that which is found in 1670 Annex B. Don Cooper to submit Public Input to Add Hazards Found in Structural Collapse like that which is found in 1670 Annex F. Don Cooper to submit Public Input to Revise the title to 1006 Annex E, Marking Systems, to match the title of the same section in 1670 Annex G, Structural Hazard Evaluation. John O Connell to submit Public Input to Suggested that 1670 should change title to Marking Systems. 10. Add Annex that matches 1670 Annex H, Classification of Spaces. Richey Wright to submit Public Input to Add Confined Space Pre-Incident Planning form like that which can be found in 1670 Figure H.1(a). Richey Wright to submit Public Input to Noted that NFPA 350 is using form from Add to 1006 Annex F information from 1670 Annex I, Excavation Requirements and Soil Types, sections F.1, F.2, F.5, F.6, F.7, and F.8. Don Cooper to submit Public Input to 1006.

4 13. Add to 1006 Annex B, Collapse Types, information from 1670 Annex J section J.2, Earthquake Collapse Patterns. Don Cooper to submit Public Input to Add chapter on animal rescue like that which can be found in 1670 Chapter 17 Animal Technical Rescue and Annex K, Animal Technical Rescue. John Haven to submit Public Input to Add and cite the following references to 1006 Annex L, Informational References: International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue (IAMSAR) Manual, U.S. National Search and Rescue Supplement to the IAMSAR, U.S. National Search and Rescue Plan, Land Search and Rescue Addendum to the National Search and Rescue Supplement to the IAMSAR, National Response Framework, Catastrophic Incident Search and Rescue Addendum to the National Search and Rescue Supplement to the IAMSAR, Fundamental of Search and Rescue, NASAR, Don Cooper to submit Public Input to Remove Figures A (a), Public Safety Dive Tables, and A (b), Dive Decompression Table. They are widely available through multiple certifying organizations and the federal government and need not be included in the standard. Divers are unlikely to have a copy of the standard while diving and the tables are needed. Don Cooper to submit Public Input to Revise the definitions of Probability of Area ( ) and Probability of Detection ( ) to match the definitions of the same terms found in the Land Search and Rescue Addendum to the National Search and Rescue Supplement to the IAMSAR (2011). Alternately, delete the definitions altogether from Don Cooper to submit Public Input to The terms passive and active search have been replaced in the contemporary search literature with indirect and direct because active and passive are used to describe radar, which is also addressed in the search literature (underwater, dive, aircraft, etc.). In 2005, NASAR s Fundamentals of SAR book made this change on the advice of the U.S. Coast Guard s Office of SAR, and NFPA 1006 should also make the change in Don Cooper to submit Public Input to Note: In addition to definitions this language also exists in , , and of NFPA states Define search parameters for a dive rescue incident so that areas with high probability of detection are differentiated from other areas. Probability of detection is only applied to areas when probability of success is being

5 computed, which does not appear to be the case in the JPR. Otherwise, probability of detection usually applies to search resources. What the committee likely intends here is a reference to areas that are more likely to contain the subject, or areas with a higher probability of area (or probability of containment). Thus, the sentence should be revised to read as follows: Define search parameters for a dive rescue incident so that areas likely to contain the subject are differentiated from other areas. The same error is repeated in 3.1.2(A) and should also be corrected. Don Cooper to submit Public Input to Add helicopter JPRs to complement NFPA 1670 Chapter 15. Alberto Burrero to submit Public Input to 1006 to compliment Add tower rescue JPRs to complement NFPA 1670 Chapter 16. Steve Fleming to submit Public Input to 1006 to compliment Additional Items: Level I JPR s for Structural Collapse: No mention of structural shoring. John O Connell to submit Public Input to Joint Task Group to consider reconciling Awareness, Operations, Technician vs. Level I and Level II. 24. Joint Task Group to consider reconciling Water Rescue language between documents.
