Heroes At Work

Tracking canines, handlers and first responders who have completed the Ground Zero training program allows us to keep our finger on the pulse of real life search and rescue needs. Task force members and first responders report the following deployment scenarios in 2019:

• Severe Flooding in Northeastern Oklahoma
• Spring tornados in El Reno, Oklahoma and Linwood, Kansas
• Hurricane Dorian in Florida and North Carolina
• Missing child searches in Kansas and Missouri (children are alive and well)
