2 <strong>Lincoln</strong>0 ire & 0 Rescue2<br />

The <strong>Lincoln</strong> Fire & Rescue Department<br />

is one <strong>of</strong> 28 task forces across the United<br />

States coordinated locally and funded<br />

federally through the Federal Emergency<br />

Management Agency (FEMA). The task<br />

force continues to expand it’s<br />

capabilities for response to incidents<br />

resulting from natural disasters such as<br />

tornadoes, hurricanes, floods,<br />

earthquakes, and man-made disasters<br />

resulting from structural collapse and<br />

acts <strong>of</strong> terrorism including weapons <strong>of</strong><br />

mass destruction. This program has<br />

brought substantial benefits to our<br />

community in the form <strong>of</strong> training,<br />

equipment, and experience that helps<br />

prepare <strong>Lincoln</strong>’s emergency responders<br />

to be ready in the event <strong>of</strong> a local<br />

disaster.<br />
