Ridgecrest quake and USAR's

3 posts in this topic

I have heard two (2) USAR task forces are in Ridgecrest.  I believe the number of task forces was higher earlier in the weekend but for now I believe Kern County for sure, has their USAR rig deployed and also LAFD USAR 88 and Tender 88 are in Ridgecrest, helping do structural assessments and in addition, apparently responding to calls.  I am sure there may be other mutual aid strike teams in the area, in addition to California OES rigs too, in area.

It really depends on who is on the alert and standby the years will deploy with a rack force and will normally not take there rigs with them unless they are local usually  preposition stock on semi will roll out and they crew will be in suburbans or trucks

if lacofd rolls out it’s ca tf two
