California Task Force 5

The Orange County Fire Authority is the sponsoring agency for California Task Force 5 (CA TF-5).

The California Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 5 is one of 28 National and one of eight California USAR Task Forces that respond as a FEMA or California OES resource during National or regional emergencies such as earthquakes, terrorist attacks, hurricanes or any other natural or man-made disaster that requires highly skilled search and rescue personnel. Although the USAR Task Forces are FEMA resources, the Task Forces work for and in support of local response agencies.
