This paper has four goals : (1) to clear up the confusion surrounding Urban Heavy Rescue (UHR); (2) to explain the importance of UHR and how it relates to the hazardous-structure problem in general and to abatement in particular; (3) to demonstrate, with material from California, how UHR requires complex intergovernmental, public-private, and civil-military planning; and (4) to lay out a research and action agenda which, if implemented, could solve the major problems in UHR.
