We manage the State Emergency Response Teams. These teams support and work with the local incident commanders. ​

The State Emergency Response Teams  include: 

  • Bomb squads
  • Two urban search and rescue teams (Minnesota Task Force 1 and Minnesota Task Force 2)
  • Hazardous materials response teams
  • Minnesota Air Rescue Team (MART)
