Ground Support Functions

The Ground Support Unit is responsible for maintaining and servicing vehicles and mobile equipment, and providing a transportation pool for major incidents. These are important services needed during a disaster.

The Ground Support Unit accomplishes its function three ways:

  • Evaluating the need for ground support as it pertains to that particular incident.
  • Identifying the best solution to meet the identified need.
  • Providing the required vehicles to meet that need.
