2. Office of Environmental Protection employees.
3. Centers for Disease Control employees.
4. Department of Health and Human Services employees.
Disaster Mortuary Operations Response Teams.

The Office of Environmental Protection is the organization that oversees the Disaster Mortuary Operations Response Teams. The Centers for Disease Control and the Department of Health and Human Services are not participants in disaster relief activities.
