"We’ll be here 24 hours a day, as long as weather is in our area." The search and rescue team is made up of 25 people from all different backgrounds who want to serve the county. For the next three days, there will be six people at the EOC and the rest will be on call. "We have teachers. We have nurses. We have EMTs. We have sheriff's department deputies. We have firefighters," Robbins said.
