As Hurricane Helen wreaked havoc across the southeastern United States, Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) teams have mobilized to provide critical support in affected areas. The aftermath of the storm has left communities devastated, with widespread flooding, damaged infrastructure, and significant casualties. In this challenging environment, the role of medical specialists within the US&R teams has proven to be indispensable.

US&R teams, comprising highly trained professionals from various disciplines, have been deployed to the hardest-hit states. Their primary objectives are to locate and rescue survivors, assess the impact of the disaster, and provide immediate medical assistance. Medical specialists—comprised of paramedics, nurses, and physicians—are integral to these operations, ensuring that injured individuals receive prompt care in chaotic and often hazardous conditions.
