Urban Search and Rescue

  • Summary

  • On this episode of The Disaster Project, we have the opportunity to talk about the ins and outs of urban search and rescue, or USAR, with Dr. Anthony Macintye. Dr. Macintyre is an emergency medicine physician, FEMA employee, and the medical director for Fairfax County’s Virginia 1 Urban Search and Rescue Team—one of only 2 US-based urban search and rescue teams that deploy to international disasters. This is a team of physicians, paramedics, engineers, firefighters, and even special dogs who are trained to identify the locations of trapped victims and aid in rescue efforts. During this episode, Dr. Macintyre will walk us through what USAR is, what it does, and what a response is like.
