The Task Force was activated for deployment Wednesday and was fast-tracked to be on the road by 7 p.m. from its location in Vandalia, Ohi, according to the organization.
The team is being deployed with four other urban search and rescue teams.
About 80 members and several canine search teams with Ohio Task Force 1 are making the trip to Florida in order to assist in the ongoing search and rescue efforts.
