members in south carolina and the southeast

[ny biker]

There is a specially-trained search and rescue team based in Fairfax County, VA, called Virginia Task Force 1. They go all over the world to help in the aftermath of earthquakes, major storms and other disasters. They're getting ready now to deploy to South Carolina.

I'm glad that people are getting the help they need but sorry conditions are bad enough to warrant their involvement.

update - here is one of the 4 dogs they brought with them. Looks cute but no doubt s/he is a highly-trained, hard-working member of the team.
