Major Disaster Considerations • Assess crews for injuries. • Move apparatus out of station if possible. • Assess the station for damage. • Determine if phones are working. • Check for power - normal or auxiliary? • Monitor phone and radio for dispatch information. • Report by radio to dispatch or IC if established. • Initiate a “windshield survey” of first response area. • Do not fully commit to any incident. - Prioritize incidents with respect to life, hazard, property. - Note any damage to infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.). - Check for hazardous utility situations (gas, electric, water). - Note structural instability/collapse of any buildings. - Expect malfunctioning automatic alarms. - Use “negative reporting.” Only report things out of the ordinary. • Follow local disaster plans. 27
Structural Triage and Search Assessment Marking Never enter a damaged structure unless trained, equipped and authorized. You may find a 2' x 2' box at the entrance (or an arrow to indicate the entrance) to the compromised structure. Orange spray paint or a lumber crayon should be used to mark hazards and condition inside the box. Structure is safe for Search and Rescue (SAR) (minor damage, or structure is fully collapsed). Structure is significantly damaged with some safe areas, but other areas which need to be shored up or braced. Falling and collapse hazards need to be removed. Structure is unsafe for SAR. May collapse suddenly. Entrance is located in direction of the arrow. HM Hazardous material is present (note type of material). Consult HazMat Team and cooperate. Time, date, specialist ID and HazMats identified should be written outside the upper right portion of the box. Building may be reevaluated for additional hazards. Single slash (2' long) indicates SAR Team is currently in structure conducting operations. Cross/slash (2' x 2') indicates SAR Team has left structure, area. The following information should be found in the 4 quadrants of the cross/slash: Team ID Left quad. Time & date team left structure Upper quad. Personnel hazards Right quad. Number victims still inside structure Lower quad. (An “X” indicates no victims remaining) 28
