FEMA's emergency response is based on small, decentralized teams trained in such areas as the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS), Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), Disaster Mortuary Operations Response Team (DMORT), Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT), and Mobile Emergency Response Support (MERS).
A FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Force (US&R Task Force) is a team of individuals specializing in urban search and rescue, disaster recovery, and emergency triage and medicine. The teams are deployed to emergency and disaster sites within six hours of notification. The Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) created the Task Force concept to provide support for large scale disasters in the United States. FEMA provides financial, technical and training support for the Task Forces as well as creating and verifying the standards of Task Force personnel and equipment.
There are 28 Task Forces in the United States, each sponsored by a local agency. In the event of a disaster in the United States, the nearest three Task Forces will be activated and sent to the site of the disaster. If the situation is large enough, additional teams will be activated.
The search and rescue personnel are organized into four rescue squads, each composed of an officer and five rescue specialists, and are capable of working 12-hour alternating shifts. The medical personnel include two task force physicians and four medical specialists.

Whenever I go near a Walmart, there’s always someone asking for $10. One day I had a headache, & since that was the only place in town that had any fuel left, I had to suck it up. As soon as I started pumping fuel, a lady approached & before she could say “Do you have…” I screamed “NO!”, & she ran & got into a vehicle that was 12 years newer than my old beater. Normally I ask them a billion questions until they give up & try an easier mark, but a loud, firm “NO!”, sends them packing. It was great practice for when I pulled into a desserted station in the middle of nowhere & a car full of people pulled in close behind, a woman & man got out, approached with “Do you know god?”.
