DBPD Search Assessments

Post-Event, systematic street-to-street and door-to-

door searches and evacuations may be required. Geographic grids will be established for door-to-door and street-to-street search /evacuation efforts. Windshield Assessments should be performed immediately after an event. Windshield Assessment: Driving street-to-street within assigned area reporting issues (building collapse, fire, safety issues) to supervisor. Interior structure searches should not be performed. Communicate location to be searched to supervisor.

Fire Department Searches

Through DBPD windshield assessments, Fire

Department personnel will be dispatched to perform search and rescue within structures of light, moderate, or heavy structural damage. CERT teams may perform interior searches of light to moderately damaged structures. Search Markings and Structure / Hazard Markings shall only be performed by Fire Department personnel in structures that are determined uninhabitable. DBPD officers may be deployed as a Task Force with DBFD and Public Works during search operations.
