The IMT and TF 1 are separate entities
Yes I am aware of that but FEMA tries share the missions and deployments to various assets and agencies within the entire response system within reason. Also serves to keep readiness, experience and member interest up among the various teams.

How come NY TF1 has not gone?
The Fl TF have been in standby since before the storm so they got the call first. Then looking at the storms track, NY may have been on or near the track so there leaving them for NY and the surrounding areas. If I had to guess there probably not far from getting a call to go somewhere.
