History
UT-TF 1, Urban Search & Rescue (US&R/USAR) was formed by the direction of FEMA over 19 years ago. All task forces are managed by full-time fire departments & firefighters who in return use this specialized training every day.
True support for this type of response was identified after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the Oklahoma City bombing in April 1995.
