California Task Force 3

About

California Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 3 (CA-TF3) is one of 28 national and one of eight California USAR Task Forces that respond as a FEMA or Cal 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.
