Technical Urban Search and Rescue, System to Locate Survivors (STOLS) Units, Operator's Manual
The US Army Corps of Engineers disaster response can be classified into three phases: (1) Initial (2) Sustained, and (3) Recovery. The Initial phase is described as the Corps' response in the first 72 hours after the disaster. The Sustained phase may continue for days to weeks depending upon the severity and location of the disaster. The Recovery and final effort continues until the completion of the task. The technical urban search effort for survivors by the Corps of Engineers is categorized in the Initial phase. For effective survivor location, it is necessary to mobilize, deploy, and initialize the search effort in less than 24 hours. It is also necessary for technical search teams to be in a constant state of readiness for the mission.
