2 teams of 60 to 80 members with similar skills and tools as the members of Utah Task Force 1 will soon be looking for survivors in collapsed buildings in Turkey.
SALT LAKE CITY — Two heavy-duty Urban Search and Rescue teams from the U.S. are on their way to Turkey to help rescue survivors from the rubble.
"They are trained to the same elite level that our type one urban search and rescue teams are trained," explained Capt. Keith Bevan, a task force leader with Utah Task Force 1. The two American teams will join more than 40 international search and rescue teams that are also responding to the call for help. And the top priority right now? "To identify areas that need rapid search to determine loss or people that are missing," Bevan said. "Then they'll start focusing in on those search and rescue operations to where areas are confirmed that people are missing and they hear things.
The search and rescue teams are comprised of structural engineers, canine handlers, physicians, heavy rescue specialists, paramedics and personnel who handle the logistics.
