Search and Rescue Common Operating Platform (SARCOP)
The IAFC continues to support state and local Search & Rescue Teams through our work with the SAR Common Operational Picture (COP) Tool for Search & Rescue Teams. Launched in 2016, SARCOP is a cornerstone for collaborative response to disasters where SLTT assets share near real-time data during response operations. The IAFC along with its partners National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (NAPSG) Foundation, ESRI and FEMA, manage and maintain the SARCOP as a national response support tool.
