2002 Disaster Training

For this year's annual disaster training, team members responded to a mock earthquake in an urban environment with multiple victims in different urban locations.

Units from Marin and Solano Counties' SAR teams and the Hercules & Rodeo Fire Department also responded and participated in the training.

Search managers use T-cards to keep track of individuals and teams. Cards are arranged so that search managers can quickly determine a team's status and which resources are available for deployment.
