Emergency Response Teams - Advanced Element (ERT-A) 1
Emergency Response Teams - Advanced Element (ERT-A) 1 : "ERT-As are located in each of FEMA's Regions and are deployed in the early phases of an incident to work directly with the States to assess the disaster impact, gain situational awareness, help coordinate the disaster response, and supports specific State requests for assistance. ERT-As are made up of approximately 25 individuals who establish an initial presence in a State EOC. They can later staff the JFO to support the disaster response. The ERT-As deploy with basic communications capabilities including cell phones, wireless laptop computers, and a limited number of satellite cell phones. A small component of an ERT-A, the Rapid Needs Assessment Team, also provides the capability to collect disaster information in the field needed to determine more specific disaster response requirements".
