Post-disaster Reconnaissance Missions

Since operations began in 2018, the NHERI RAPID facility has deployed reconnaissance teams and equipment to more than 80 sites around the world. Director Joe Wartman describes several, including a mission to Florida after Hurricane Michael that helped change building codes and an emergency deployment to Miami after the Surfside Condo collapse in 2021.
