DOPE and TAPE ep158 UBR - K9

This episode of the Dope and Tape show features an interview with members of UBR-K9, a volunteer search and rescue unit based in Mexico City. This entirely volunteer-run organization uses trained dogs to locate and rescue people (and animals) trapped in disaster zones, primarily in Mexico but also internationally. They specialize in earthquake and hurricane relief. UBR-K9 faces challenges due to limited resources. They rely on personal vehicles and equipment, and lack essential items like inflatable life rafts, thermal cameras, satellite phones, and specialized harnesses. They receive no government support. Since their formation after the 2017 earthquake in Mexico City, UBR-K9 has assisted in numerous rescue efforts, including the recent Hurricane Otis and the earthquake in Turkey. They highlighted the emotional impact of witnessing such devastation and the importance of community support in disaster zones. The episode serves as a platform to raise awareness about UBR-K9's work and encourage viewers to support them through their social media channels (Facebook and Instagram @ubr_k9)The interview was conducted via video call with members of UBR-K9 in Mexico City.They showcased their rescue dogs, including Belgian Malinois and Pitbulls, many of which are rescued dogs themselves. They shared photos and videos of past rescue missions, illustrating the challenging conditions they face and the impact of their work. The host emphasized the importance of continued support and assistance for UBR-K9's efforts. This episode effectively highlighted the crucial work of a volunteer organization dedicated to saving lives in disaster zones. It also served as a call to action, encouraging viewers to contribute and support their ongoing efforts.
