Federal Incident Response Support Team (FIRST) 2
Federal Incident Response Support Team (FIRST) 2 : "FIRSTs are emergency response teams consisting of approximately five individuals who can be immediately deployed to a significant incident or disaster. FEMA's two FIRSTs are located in Region IV in Atlanta, Georgia, and in Region V in Chicago, Illinois. They serve as the forward component of the ERT-A and provide the core preliminary on-scene Federal management in support of the local incident commander to ensure an integrated, inter-jurisdictional response. Federal incident response support provided by these teams includes a command vehicle and multiple communications capabilities". (FEMA, Statement of Glenn Cannon, November 15, 2007, p. 7)
