The team consists of rescue specialists, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, search dogs and structural engineers.
After a 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed more than 3,400 people in Turkey and Syria, the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Urban Search and Rescue team is preparing to make their way over to the region to help those in need.
The White House in statement said that Biden underscored "the readiness of the United States to provide any and all needed assistance" to its NATO ally Turkey. "The president authorized an immediate U.S. response in addition to the U.S. personnel currently on the ground," said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "We are in the process of deploying additional teams to support Turkish search and rescue efforts and address the needs of those injured and displaced by the earthquakes."
The 78-member rescue team consists of rescue specialists, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, search dogs and structural engineers. The six search dogs are trained to find live people under rubble - they can spot the difference between a deceased person and those who are alive.
