How can you communicate the location of damage/victims?

Communicating Hazards and Victims:

You can describe different locations within and around the structure by using the ABCD standard, with A corresponding to the front of the building and B, C, and D representing the sides of the building, moving clockwise from A.

Using this system, the area inside of a structure can be further broken down by quadrants to facilitate communication.

For instance, a hazard or victim located closest to the A and B sides of the structure is in the A/B quadrant.

You must communicate your findings to the CERT command post or responding agencies.
