Yesterday, one of our updates about the Japan earthquake and tsunami highlighted the two Urban Search and Rescue teams deploying to support search and rescue operations. The teams are deploying at the request of the Japanese government, under the direction of the U.S. Agency for International Development.

See more about the Virginia Task Force 1 team (VA-TF1) as they make final preparations on Facebook or their website.

FEMA is a fantastic resource and some of the best firefighters I have ever worked with are on those teams.They are hampered only by administrative constraints that consider only the implications of liability.

The lack of specific info coming from Japan resembles that of Russia. One is insulated by land, the other ocean. Neither can control the weather. Look at the tradewinds and ask questions.
