UK Search Teams Heading To Japan

The UK's international search and rescue team is preparing to assist Japan after a call for help. The team, consisting of 63 firefighters, 5 medics, and two dogs, is equipped to be self-sufficient for two weeks. They face a 12-hour flight and will join a global coordination effort led by Japan. The team aims to find survivors within a critical four to five-day window using specialized equipment. The mission is urgent, as the likelihood of finding survivors decreases over time. The team will arrive in Hanamachi, north of Tokyo, ready to tackle unpredictable challenges.
