Since operations began in 2018, the NHERI RAPID facility has deployed reconnaissance teams and equipment to more than 80 sites around the world. Director Joe Wartman describes several, including a mission to Florida after Hurricane Michael that helped change building codes and an emergency deployment to Miami after the Surfside Condo collapse in 2021.
