They will start de-layering debris from the outside inward, starting at the highest point accessible from the perimeter of the collapse footprint. We usually use cranes with slings and grapplers. De-layering starts after the initial void searches are done using K9s cameras and acoustics.

From what I'm hearing, they have already started it.
