This book was released on 2012 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass rescue operations are complex, confusing and extremely challenging for multiagency responders. Catastrophic Incident Search and Rescue was developed by the National Search and Rescue Committee (NSARC) to provide clear, definitive, standardized direction and information on search and rescue (SAR) during disasters. It covers federal response organization, incident management, critical considerations, specific field considerations organized by disaster type, and the impact of man-made disasters. For federal agencies, it is the guide on how to respond and provide SAR services during a disaster. The up-to-date guidance in this book will save lives. Catastrophic Incident Search and Rescue expands on the US National SAR Plan and the US National SAR Supplement to the International Aeronautical and Maritime SAR (IAMSAR) Manual. Version 3.0 provides additional information and lessons learned.

Book excerpt: 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and other calamitous events continue to challenge Federal, State, Tribal, Territorial, and local Search and Rescue (SAR) responders in the planning and execution of large-scale SAR operations. NSARC realizes the Federal government's response to large-scale Catastrophic Incident SAR (CISAR; pronounced "See-Eye-SAR") must continue to improve. As a result of feedback and lessons learned from previous CISAR operations, NSARC has revised and added several new Sections to the original Catastrophic Incident Search and Rescue (CISAR) Addendum to the National Search and Rescue Supplement (NSS.) In 2010, NSARC will focus its effort on updating the NSS. Meanwhile, it plans to update this CISAR manual as necessary at the conclusion of the 2010 hurricane season. There are many different Federal, State, Tribal, Territorial, and local SAR response cultures. Each possesses unique capabilities, language, and responsibilities. During a Catastrophic Incident, NSARC member Departments and Agencies are required to conduct multi-agency SAR operations within a unified command. This CISAR Addendum (Version 2.0) has been written to: (1) provide a concise description of the Federal Government's civil SAR response to catastrophic incidents; (2) guide Federal authorities involved in the response; and (3) inform States, Tribes, and Territories on what to expect from Federal SAR responders. Response to several catastrophic incidents has demonstrated that a unified command is crucial to an effective CISAR response. CISAR Addendum (Version 2.0) sets baseline guidance and principles that can improve the effectiveness of the unified command in the conduct of the CISAR, and provide important guidance for the CISAR.
