A member of California's Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 3 is already in the hurricane zone in charge of a support team.

San Mateo native Carl Kustin could be joined by other members of USAR team, who are on standby to deploy.

The USAR members have seen hurricane damage up close - some were deployed to Katrina in 2005.
