Search and Rescue Operations
Size up Helps determine a safe action plan Use the 9-step size-up model
Search involves: Locating victims. Documenting location.
Rescue involves: Removal of victims Debris removal

Use Caution – Think Before You Act
The first response to trapped victims is by spontaneous, untrained, and well-intentioned persons who rush to the site of an incident in an attempt to free the victims.

Visual 5.11
Step 1: Gather Facts
Consider the: Time of event and day of week. Type of structure. Construction type. Weather. Hazards.
Gather facts accurately.
![Page 12: Visual 5.1 Unit 5 – Light Search & Rescue. Visual 5.2 Unit Objectives Identify sizeup requirements for potential search and rescue situations. Describe.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f1d5503460f94c34f3d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Visual 5.12
Step 2: Assess and Communicate Damage
CERT mission changes if: Damage is light. Damage is moderate. Damage is heavy.
Consider structure type and age.
Never enter a structure with heavy damage!

Visual 5.16
Step 3: Consider Probabilities
Identify potentially life-threatening hazard
How stable is the situation? What else could go wrong? What does it all mean to the search and rescue
effort?
![Page 17: Visual 5.1 Unit 5 – Light Search & Rescue. Visual 5.2 Unit Objectives Identify sizeup requirements for potential search and rescue situations. Describe.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f1d5503460f94c34f3d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Visual 5.17
Step 4: Assess Your Situation
Take what you have learned from 1-3 to determine:
1. Whether the situation is safe enough to continue.
2. The risks that rescuers will face if they continue.
3. What resources will be needed to conduct the operation safely.

Visual 5.19
Step 5: Establish Priorities
What should be done? In what order?
Your safety is always the first priority and will dictate some of the other priorities. For example removing or mitigating known hazards must be completed before teams begin to search (turning off the power).
Think through the situation logically. Look at the “big picture”, avoid tunnel vision.
![Page 20: Visual 5.1 Unit 5 – Light Search & Rescue. Visual 5.2 Unit Objectives Identify sizeup requirements for potential search and rescue situations. Describe.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f1d5503460f94c34f3d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Visual 5.20
Step 6: Make Decisions
Deploy your resources to do the most good, while maintaining a high margin of safety.
Remember:
Safety to each CERT member
Life safety of the victims
Protection of the environment
Protection of property

Visual 5.21
Step 7: Develop An Action Plan
1. Focus the operation on established priorities and decisions.
2. Provide documentation to be given to responding agencies when they arrive.
3. Provide documentation that can be used after the incident.
![Page 22: Visual 5.1 Unit 5 – Light Search & Rescue. Visual 5.2 Unit Objectives Identify sizeup requirements for potential search and rescue situations. Describe.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f1d5503460f94c34f3d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Visual 5.22
Step 8&9: Take Action, Evaluate Progress
Remember size up is on-going! Any information gathered during these last two steps needs to be fed back into the decision-making process for possible revision.

Search Methods
1. Call out to victims.
Use a bull horn
2. Use systematic search pattern.
3. Stop frequently to listen.
4. Triangulate.
5. Mark searched areas to document results.
6. Report results.

Visual 5.31
Triangulation
Triangulation enables rescuers to view a single location from several perspectives. Three rescuers, guided by a victim sounds, form a triangle around the area and direct flashlights into the area. The light shining from different directions will eliminate shadows that could otherwise hide victims.
