Incident-Briefing-Network list serves the Search and Rescue (SAR), Disaster
Response (DR), and Emergency Management (EM) communities.

This list will distribute Alerts, Warnings, SITREPS, Briefs, Notices, Press
Releases, and News Reports relative to on-going, probable, and highly
possible incidents that could be categorized as disasters or major
emergencies.   Included will be: earthquakes, hurricanes, cyclones,
typhoons, storms, floods, landslides, mudslides, tornados, avalanches,
tsunami, and tidal waves, as well as national and/or international security
events.

The primary focus of this list will be the type of incident that requires a
"broad spectrum" of emergency responders including search and rescue,
emergency medical, communications, etc. whether those response units are
government supported or a non-governmental organization (NGO) comprised of
volunteers.

Coverage will begin with the first indication of a possible incident through
any actual response.   Post-incident analysis and �lessons learned� will be
covered as well.   Some aspects of prevention, preparedness, and mitigation
will be covered. Consequence and recovery will not be addressed here.

This list will be of interest to those involved - at all levels - in Search
and Rescue, Disaster Response, and   Emergency Management, including members
of SAR, US&R, DMAT, DMORT, VMAT, EMS, Fire Safety, Law Enforcement, and
other similar units.

The list is "Distribution Only" - Submissions are accepted for review and
re-posting by the Editors/Moderators.   Discussion of any post to this list
should be carried to any other appropriate list.

This Incident Briefing Network list is provided as a service to the
Emergency Response and Emergency Management Communities and is co-sponsored
by INSARO and JAGWA.
