Establishing Operations Zones
 SAR is an area-specific specialty.
 Type
of area to be search dictates the
kind and type of resource to be utilized.
 Considering Operations Zones that
might be affected can help with
determining the kind, type and number
of resources that might be pre-deployed
or alerted for deployment.
Zone “A” – Impact Area
Generally areas with high-density
population and buildings of light,
medium and heavy (reinforced)
construction
Zone A
Zone “B” – Interface
Area
Generally the rural interface and intermix.
Single family residential areas with light
and medium density buildings.
Zone B
Zone “C” – Inland Area
Generally sparsely populate rural areas
with residential structures
(mobile homes and light buildings)
