== About ==
Washington Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 (WA-TF1) was founded in 1991 and is one of 28 National USAR Task Forces that respond as a FEMA resource during National or regional emergencies such as earthquakes, terrorist attacks, hurricanes or any other natural or man-made disaster that requires highly skilled search and rescue personnel.
