Days after Hurricane Ian left parts of southwest Florida in ruins, search and rescue teams continued to go door-to-door, or ruin-to-ruin, looking for survivors.
A FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Force from Virginia arrived in the hard-hit Fort Myers area Sunday, and on Monday were knocking on doors on Fort Myers Beach, a small island town that’s now an island of rubble. “Rescue,” members yelled after knocking on each door. Some roamed condominium corridors with dogs trained to look for survivors. “We’re going through structure by structure, doing what’s called a secondary search,” Virginia Task Force 2 Leader Brian Sullivan told CNN.
“And then there are other structures that there’s nothing left, just the staircase and the pilings that the house used to sit on.” The FEMA search and rescue team is “right on the edge of the survival window” – when those who made it through the hurricane might still be found alive, Sullivan said. Officials on Monday closed the island to everyone but search and rescue teams.
