Hurricane/Tropical Storm - Bolivar Peninsula, Texas, December 6, 2008 -- Specially trained cadaver locating dog "Cooper" works a pile of debris while his trainer Aki Yamaguchi (r) and a safety officer (l) look on. Months after Hurricane Ike left the area a disaster, final sweeps are being made to determine that no human remains are still in the piles; clearing the way for cleanup crews to move in and start removing the mess. FEMA supports this mission, along with many others as a community recovers after a disaster. Mike Moore/FEMA
