Urban Search and Rescue (South Carolina Task Force 1 ) or SC-TF1 is an urban search and rescue task force that is sponsored by the South Carolina Firefighter Mobilization Committee, which was created by the South Carolina Firefighter Mobilization Act of 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 South Carolina Title 23 Chapter 49 ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 South Carolina General Assembly, 116th Session, 2005-2006 Emergency Response Task Force Recognition )〕 The committee is made up of fire service representatives, the State Emergency Management Director, the State Forestry Director, and a representative from a county Emergency Management agency. It is a part of the State Emergency Operations Plan and can deploy within South Carolina, or out of state through existing mutual aid agreements or through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Emergency Management Assistance Compact )〕 SC-TF1 meets and in most cases exceeds the staffing and equipment to the NIMS/FEMA recommendations for Type I urban search and rescue task forces, including robust search, rescue, planning, HAZMAT/WMD, medical and logistics sections capable of self-sustained 24-hour heavy rescue operations for over 72 hours and for deployments of up to 10 days. It is a founding member of the State Urban Search and Rescue Alliance (SUSAR)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 State Urban Search and Rescue Alliance )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 LLR Fire Academy Hosts Rescue Summit )〕 which is a network of North American state and commonwealth urban search and rescue resources that formed after a meeting in South Carolina in 2005. SC-TF1 was one of the first state urban search and rescue resources to be deployed into St. Tammany Parish and St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, after Hurricane Katrina in September, 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 ETV's WJWJ-TV Reporter Holly Bounds Report on South Carolina Rescue Efforts After Hurricane Katrina ) 〕 Four regional building collapse search and rescue teams are part of the South Carolina Firefighter Mobilization plan but not part of SC-TF1. They are located in Charleston, Greenville, Hilton Head Island, and Myrtle Beach. ==Deployments== * April, 21st, 2008 - Local, regional, state and military emergency crews conducted a full-scale disaster response simulation in Beaufort County. This five-day-long exercise involved nearly 2,345 military and civilian personnel responding to a mock earthquake scenario with partially collapsed buildings and trapped victims. SC-TF1 responded by deploying their 75-man Type I task force to the area for a four-day deployment. * SC-TF1 was legally deployed by the State of Louisiana on September 2, 2005 to assist in search and rescue operations for Hurricane Katrina. In joint operations with St. Tammany Fire District, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office, and the Alabama Search and Rescue Task Force, SC-TF1 was part of the effort that moved more than 2,800 people to safety (250 of whom were in immediate peril), and searched 25,000 homes and businesses in 9 days.〔Larry Hess, Fire Chief St. Tammany Fire District No. 1 ("An Open Letter To the Citizens of St. Tammany Fire District No. 1" ) September 26, 2005 - Accessed February 10, 2007.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Urban Search and Rescue South Carolina Task Force 1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
