Based on this reading, which of the following would be a target hazard for which urban search and rescue should be considered? Urban search and rescue (US&R) teams work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the state of their residence, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Search and rescue crew evaluate the structural stability of a location in order to determine any possibility of threats to life and safety. They will be called to respond to natural disasters such as earthquakes, storms, tornadoes, and floods. Additionally, they can be called for dam failures and industrial accidents, including hazardous-materials spills. Any situation where victims are trapped, lost, or injured may call in a search and rescue team.
