Answer to Question 1

An emergency response team (ERT) is a special team that responds to general and localized emergencies to facilitate personnel evacuation and safety, shut down building services, and utilities, as needed, work with responding civil authorities, protect and salvage company property, and evaluate areas for safety prior to reentry.
