THIS IS JUST A DRILL: USAID disaster teams don't wait for crises to strike to jump into action. Today, our urban search and rescue team VA-TF1 / USA-1 - Urban Search and Rescue conducted drills recreated from past disaster responses. Practice ensures our teams are prepared to save lives before a crisis hits.
