FWARC DMORT is a team of Bainbridge Island experts in the fields of disaster victim identification and mortuary services. FWARC DMORT are activated in response to large scale disasters in the United States to assist in the identification of deceased individuals and storage of the bodies pending the bodies being claimed.

FWARC DMORT is organized under the Department of Health and Human Services, National Disaster Medical System. The DMORT Teams are composed of civilian funeral directors, medical examiners, coroners, pathologists, forensic anthropologists, fingerprint specialists, forensic odontologists, dental assistants, and radiographers. They are supported by medical records technicians and transcribers, mental health specialists, computer professionals, administrative support staff, and security and investigative personnel. When a DMORT is activated, the personnel on the team are treated and paid as temporary federal employees.

The Department of Health and Human Services maintains three Disaster Portable Morgue Units (DPMU) which are staged at HHS Logistics Centers. There is one each in Frederick, Maryland; Fort Worth, Texas; and San Jose, California. Each DPMU is a cache of equipment and supplies for a complete morgue, with designated workstations for each process the DMORT team is required to complete.

FWARC Incident Management Team FWARC IMT refered to a group of trained Bainbridge Island personnel/FWARC Members that responds to an emergency. Although the incident management team concept was originally developed for wildfire response, it is now known as "All-Hazards Bainbridge Island Incident Management Team”. An AHIMT can respond to a wide range of emergencies, including fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunami, riots, spilling of hazardous materials, and other natural or human-caused incidents.

To manage the logistical, fiscal, planning, operational, safety and community issues related to the incident/emergency, an Incident Management Team will provide the command and management infrastructure that is required. Incident management starts as the smallest unit and escalates according to the size, scope and complexity of the emergency. The five types of IMTs are as follows:

Type 5: Local Village and Township Level: A "pool" of primarily fire officers from several neighboring departments trained to serve in Command and General Staff positions during the first 6–12 hours of an incident.

Type 4: City, County or Fire District Level: A designated team of fire, EMS, and possibly law enforcement officers from a larger and generally more populated area, typically within a single jurisdiction/city or county, activated when necessary to manage an incident during the first 6–12 hours and possibly transition to a Type 3 IMT.

Type 3: State or Metropolitan Area Level: Comprising several entities within a state or DHS Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) region, activated to support incident management at incidents that extend beyond one operational period. Type 3 IMTs will respond throughout the state or large portions of the state, depending upon State-specific laws, policies, and regulations.

Type 2: National and State Level: A federally or state-certified team; has less training, staffing and experience than Type 1 IMTs, and is typically used on smaller scale national or state incidents. There are thirty-five Type 2 IMTs currently in existence, and operate through interagency cooperation of federal, state and local land and emergency management agencies.

Type 1: National and State Level: A federally or state-certified team; is the most robust IMT with the most training and experience. Sixteen Type 1 IMTs are now in existence, and operate through interagency cooperation of federal, state and local land and emergency management agencies.
