A South Carolina Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team (SC-HART)

A South Carolina Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team (SC-HART) member is lifted from the Midway Fire Rescue tower onto a S.C. National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter at Pawleys Island, S.C., June 3, 2014. South Carolina National Guard Soldiers and Airmen are working side-by-side with the S.C. Emergency Management Division and first responders from local emergency agencies, to effectively respond to any hurricane that may threaten the state. The exercise is based on a hurricane post-landfall response between federal, state and local agencies, which includes training in communications, first responder skills, with the focus on how to better protect and assist citizens during emergency situations.
