DMORT Deployments
Since 1993, DMORT regional teams have responded to disasters caused by natural events, crime, and accidents. In addition, small teams or individuals can be predeployed to sites where there is threatened criminal activity which would cause multiple deaths, or to sites where it is anticipated that multiple fatalities may be caused by natural occurrences.
