Subject: Describes the rescue and recovery efforts of the City of Oklahoma City following the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in 1995. Because the blast collapsed a nine-storey office building, severely damaged or destroyed 25 other buildings, and damaged another 300, this tragedy offers lessons for others who must deal with similar impacts caused by natural hazards. Descriptions of the city's response are broken into five categories: shock and response; taking control; resource escalation; sustaining the effort; and, recovery, healing, and remembrance. After-action reports are also provided describing the overall actions of city personnel; the fire, police, and emergency medical departments; urban search and rescue teams; Murrah building federal agencies; the state health department; and relief organizations. In addition, the report provides an evaluation of communications, a history of the Murrah building, and a detailed discussion of lessons learned
