Synopsis
The National Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Response System (the System) receives federal funding to ensure adequate day-to-day administration, program and grant management, training, exercise, procurement (vehicle and equipment) and storage and maintenance for the 28 national task forces. The funding ensures the 28 task forces can maintain their readiness independent of Sponsoring Agency funding. When deployed, these task forces provide federal support to state, local and tribal territories in response to natural and man-made incidents, conducting mass search and rescue operations in the immediate aftermath of an incident, and assisting with stabilization and restoration of community lifelines immediately following an incident.
