“Urban Search and Rescue New South Wales AUS-2”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

New South Wales Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 (or NSWTF/1) was first established as a USAR capability in the lead up to the 2000 Sydney Olympics. After earlier large-scale collapses including the 1977 Granville Train Disaster, 1989 Newcastle earthquake and 1997 Thredbo landslide, Fire & Rescue NSW was legislated as the combat authority for responding to major structural collapse incidents within the state of New South Wales.

The Task Force was classified as a Heavy USAR team by the United Nations INSARAG^[1] organisation in 2012. When the NSW USAR Task Force is deployed internationally by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs,^[2] it assumes the call sign "AUS-2" in line with INSARAG guidelines.^[3]

The Task Force is based in Sydney, New South Wales (Australia). It is a capability of Fire & Rescue NSW^[4] but is staffed by emergency service workers from many federal and state agencies.

Every state of Australia has a local USAR capability. AUS-2 is one of two Task Forces that deploys internationally to provide international response to natural and man-made disasters - AUS-1 is a capability managed by the Queensland Fire & Emergency Service.^[5]
