Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s (MDFR) Urban Search and Rescue Team, Florida Task Force One (FL-TF1), has been activated in response to severe flooding conditions impacting communities in need of immediate assistance in Texas.
A specially trained seven-member team has been deployed, including two canine search teams and support personnel, to assist in the ongoing search operations.
The canine teams, made up of two search specialists and their highly trained canines, will work alongside local authorities to help locate individuals still unaccounted for in affected areas. These teams bring with them extensive expertise in navigating disaster environments with urgency, technical skill and the compassion needed during these difficult situations.
FL-TF1 stands ready to respond to communities facing devastation, whether from natural or human-caused disasters. Our mission is to provide critical search and rescue services, medical care, communication support, damage assessments, and coordination of relief efforts when people need it most.
Throughout its history, FL-TF1 has answered the call during some of the world’s most challenging emergencies, including the Oklahoma City bombing, the World Trade Center collapse, Hurricane Katrina, the Surfside building collapse, and international earthquake responses in Colombia, Turkey and Haiti.
