Light search and rescue operations consist of sizeup, search, and rescue. Sizeup is a continual 9-step process involving gathering facts, assessing damage, establishing priorities, and developing a plan of action. The goals of search and rescue are to rescue the greatest number of people in the shortest time while maintaining rescuer safety. Search techniques include calling out, following a grid pattern, and stopping frequently to listen. Victim removal methods include leveraging, cribbing, and carries that minimize risk to rescuers.
