They concluded that: a “strike team” concept should be standardized to ensure smooth liaison among gov’t. units; teams should be constituted, have leaders named, & be in place before hurricane landfall; team members should be selected for physical & mental ability to handle the on-the-ground conditions during the immediate response period; & FEMA should continue employing firefighters to augment the response teams.
