The Operational Command
The commander of rescue operation (COS) coordinates the rescue resources on site (public, private or associations). He must be easily-spotted and has thus a yellow chasuble-like jacket on his clothes, with the inscription "Commandant les Opérations de Secours". He has an operational head-quarter (PCO: poste de commandement opérationnel) near the site of the disaster. The OHQ has communications with all the resources and administratrions, including the police.
