Standard Operations
                  Procedures 

In February 2013, CARES started releasing Version 5.0 of the CARES Standard Operations Procedures.  This revision includes several changes and additions to how CARES will respond during a disaster, and incorporates its field Communications Manual into the response process.

The SOP is divided into Seven Parts with supporting details listed in sections.  All parts are available for viewing or download here (right-click on a file name, then "Save Target As..." to select a location on your computer).  For an overview, see a summary of each Part here:
