Scott Dean was on the ground in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, and nearly 20 years ago, he also responded to the 9/11 attacks in New York. On June 24, 2021, disaster struck at home. Our training and the tools we utilize are identical, but this disaster is completely different than anything we ve ever been faced with, Dean said. Because of the time of day, knowing it was very well-occupied with individuals in that structure, we were looking at specific areas to try to locate as many people as possible, specifically in the bedrooms because it was 1:30 or so in the morning.
Nichole Notte was in Surfside within 45 minutes of the collapse. She is one of five women on FL Task Force 2 tirelessly working in the rubble to help families find closure.
