Movement, secondary collapse
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
Which unit is responsible an area deem “outside” the collapse zone are too directed ambulatory victims to a safe triage area, gathering initial on-scene information for known and potential victims, and their activities prior to the collapse, types of occupancy, and pertinent information that can be determined by visually observing and gathering.
First Responders or first unit on the scene
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
All information type of building, collapse, occupancy, time of day, and interviews of witnesses and persons, familiar with the building, located on the surface, lightly buried by debris, can be seen or heard, known location but cannot be seen or heard rescue normally progress from safe area into unsafe area and focus on victims is called what?
General Victim Removal Priorities
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
Risk vs. Gain mains what?
Analysis the situation at hand to ensure we do not too quickly begin that will not place own personnel in jeopardy
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
To identify victims and carried out on all sides of the building and above and below when accessible consisted of?
Search techniques
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
How many phases of a collapse rescue operation are there and name them.
There are six (6)
Phase 1 Size-Up andAssessment
Phase 2 Removal of surface and lightly covered victims
Phase 3 Voids and accessible space searched for victim
Phase 4 Selected debris removal using specialized equipment and techniques
Phase 5 General debris removal after all know victims have been recovered
Phase 6 Termination
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
More thorough assessment and size-up, to be carried out as soon as possible, will utilize the initial information as well as that gathered from rescue first inserted into the site to develop an Incident Action Plan for further operations, with the following information taken fall in what phases?
Phase 1 Size-Up and Assessment
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
Identifying the building involved, and for each involved building determine,Type of occupancy, Type of construction, Part of building involved and the type of collapse, Voids and space where viable victim are likely, Current structural stability issues other hazards consisted of what phased?
Phase 1 Size-Up and Assessment
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
Victims located on the surface and those likely covered can normally be quickly identified and removed from the collapse zone is in which phase?
Phase 2 Removal of surface and lightly covered victims
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
Victims locations are not know search area that could have afforded a victims a reasonable chance of survival which could be found in Hallways and exits, voids under floors which are not totally collapse would be found in which phase?
Phase 3 Voids and accessible space searched for victim
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
Once surface victims are removed and the need to access voids becomes necessary, shoring, breaching, breaking, and cutting operations, likely be involved, personnel must be assigned to these functions and the need personnel, equipment, and material is in which phase
Phase 3 Voids and accessible space searched for victim
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
After all searching and removing from voids and accessible space are completed; selected debris removal operation will begin is in which phase
Phase 4 Selected debris removal using specialized equipment and techniques
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
The strategy and intent still being rapid access to viable victims, and to determine which debris is “selected” for removal Visual, Audible- victims who can be heard, Call-out/listen, Thermal imagers, Search cams, Remote listening devices, Canines consisted in which phase?
Phase 4 Selected debris removal using specialized equipment and techniques
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
This involve the removal of all remaining affected portions of the structure and the further need to search for viable or deceased victims will be dependent on the reliability of victim information and the time frame since the collapse and heavy equipment will be needed to accomplish this operation and call for early into the incident of which phase?
Phase 5 General debris removal after all knows victims have been recovered.
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
All demobilization tasks to include, ensuring all involved agencies have accomplished their assigned tasks in which phase?
Phase 6 Termination
From the Rescue Ops Bulletins
