Since #hurricaneisaias landfall, FL-TF2 has worked alongside partner agencies to carry out multiple missions in some of the hardest-hit areas, including floodwater evacuations, wide-area searches, and aerial reconnaissance. One team one mission! #FLTF2 #searchandrescue #storm

When we talk about Urban Search & Rescue Team’s “interactions” with people (over 1,500 from Hurricane Helene) here’s an example….
Teams will provide assistance to those who need it a long the way. Here’s a team helping a resident fortify their home.

Planning and preparation are essential parts of urban search and rescue. Our team is ready to respond once needs are identified after #HurricaneIdalia.

At the direction of @GovRonDeSantis, Florida’s 8 USAR Teams have been focused on search and rescue, power restoration, debris removal, water rescue needs and more.
It was humbling to visit @FLTF2USAR in Dixie County and even share some great Cuban coffee.
FL-TF2 has been activated as a NIMS Type 1 USAR Team with a Swift Water component and is staging in Orlando until it is safe enough for the team to move into the most affected areas – at Florida, USA

#Idalia’s strengthened to a CAT 2 and had a western movement threatening the Tallahassee area. There’s an army of first responders, emergency officials, US&R teams and linemen who are prepared to protect life and property after the storm passes. Say a prayer for these heroes.

Last year, @GovRonDeSantis announced $10 million to support Florida’s eight USAR teams.
Today, I visited our brave @FLTF2USAR team members to see firsthand how these funds have supported their operations, training exercises, and assets to respond in the event of a disaster.
