Hazard Typology Strike Teams
Specialized strike teams for exact disaster and crisis profiles — derived from FEMA, DHS, and CDC doctrines.
Overview
This capability group maintains pre-configured, rapidly deployable strike teams for every major disaster typology — from seismic collapse and coastal surge to CBRN incidents and radiological accidents. Each team is trained, equipped, and doctrine-aligned for its specific hazard profile, enabling faster, more effective response than generalist units.
