What Does a Search Dog do? In addition to the various land, sea, and air resources that are available, California Task Force One (CA-TF-1), managed for FEMA by the Los Angeles Fire Department, has several search dogs on its roster.

Let's see what these dogs do, and learn how they can help save YOU in the event of an earthquake or other disaster. Click Here.
