Updating USAR icons
Could the factory icons under USAR please be updated to the newer FEMA SARCOP markings please. Just trying to keep inline with their ConOps for large scale events. Its not much different.

For my own context, for USAR use do these supplement or replace the iron sights icons we were using? i.e. does the orange circle replace the orange house-in-diamond icon, or do they serve different purposes?
If you wanted to match SARCOP exactly then id say replace. Currently if a USAR team utilizing SARCOP drops a marker for a minor damaged house its an orange circle instead of the house-in-diamond anymore. Purple and gray are also fairly new to spread out the difference of major damage and complete gone.
Everything in tables 1-4 are the primary markers used now by the FEMA teams. Those plus pentagon 21-24 would all fit nicely under your USAR section.
The rest are the same, except maybe adding Casualty Collection Point to one of the groups.
Being at Helene we notices A LOT of the local fire companies were using CalTopo for their initial searches, but when we imported everything into SARCOP it forced us to do secondary damage assessments since the options were different.
