Firefighters in Surfside, Florida, have ended the recovery mission from the June collapse of a condo tower that killed nearly 100 people.

The conclusion of the mission comes one day ahead of the one-month anniversary of the collapse of Champlain Towers South. Ninety-seven people were killed when the tower spontaneously fell on the morning of June 24.

In a letter to Miami-Dade and Surfside officials, structural engineer Allyn Kilsheimer, who was hired to find out why the building collapsed, said the site might be unsafe due to a perimeter wall near Collins Avenue could fail, the Associated Press reported.

In the letter, Kilsheimer recommended that an earthen berm be built to support the walls because parts of the street could collapse.

According to the Miami Herald, Miami-Dade County officials said crews would be brought in to shore up the remaining underground walls.

Collins Avenue, which has been closed to traffic since June 24, could be reopening soon, the newspaper reported.

The announcement comes a day after Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman said in a hearing that victims and families who suffered losses in the collapse would be initially compensated a minimum of $150 million.

Rescuers at the site of a collapsed apartment tower in Surfside, Florida, found 10 additional victims in the rubble overnight, bringing the death toll from the tragedy to 46.

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava confirmed that 94 people who are presumed to have been in the building at the time of the collapse are still missing. Two hundred people have been accounted for.

It's been nearly two weeks since the Champlain Towers South spontaneously collapsed on the morning of June 24. Since that morning, rescuers have not found any survivors in the wreckage.

During a Wednesday morning briefing, Miami-Dade Fire Chief Alan Cominsky said there is no evidence to indicate that any of the victims recovered so far survived the initial collapse.

Levine Cava said Tuesday that the families of those still missing are preparing for the worst.

"They know what is happening," she said. "They understand that the news of their loved ones may be tragic loss...they're prepared for it. Everybody will be ready when it's time to move to the next phase."

Officials say 32 of the 46 people killed in the accident have been identified. Thirty-one names of victims have been made public. They are:

• Hilda Noriega, 92
• Gino Cattarossi, 89
• Graciela Cattarossi, 86
• Claudio Bonnefoy, 85
• Antonio Lozano, 83
• Gonzalo Torre, 81
• Magaly Elena Delgado, 80
• Leon Oliwkowicz, 80
• Simon Segal, 89
• Gladys Lozano, 79
• Nancy Kress Levin, 76
• Christina Beatriz Elvira, 74
• Maria Obias-Bonnefoy, 69
• Tzvi Ainsworth, 68
• Francis Fernandez, 67
• Ingrid Ainsworth, 66
• David Epstein, 58
• Bonnie Epstein, 56
• Frank Kleiman, 55
• Staci Dawn Fang, 54
• Manuel LaFont, 54
• Marcus Joseph Guara, 52
• Jay Kleiman, 52
• Michael David Altman, 50
• Graciela Cattarossi, 48
• Anna Ortiz, 46
• Anaely Rodriguez, 42
• Luis Bermudez, 26
• Andreas Giannitsopoulous, 21
• Lucia Guara, 10
• Emma Guara, 4

Officials have also confirmed that the 7-year-old daughter of a Miami firefighter was also among those killed in the collapse. That girl's name has not been made public at the request of the family.

Search-and-rescue efforts at the site have continued unimpeded since Tropical Storm Elsa moved out of the area. Cominsky said Wednesday that there were no work stoppages reported overnight.

"Our first responders have searched that pile every day since the collapse like they were searching for their own children," Levine Cava said.

Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said Wednesday that city officials were conducting tests on Champlain Towers North — the sister building of the tower that collapsed. That building had similar blueprints and was constructed during the same time period with similar materials.

Burkett said that analysts would review results from today's tests over the next several weeks to determine the building's structural soundness. While the north tower has not been evacuated, residents have been given alternative housing options if they no longer feel safe.

Levine Cava added Wednesday that an audit of 40 similar buildings in the county has only found one building with structural issues — a building in North Miami Beach that had issues with four balconies. That building has not been evacuated, and work is ongoing to fix those balconies.

An additional building in Miami Beach was evacuated last week.

Officials in Surfside will brief the media again 5:30 p.m. ET Wednesday.

Rescue efforts at the site of a partially collapsed condo tower in Surfside, Florida, have been suspended as officials prepare to demolish the portion of the building that's still standing.

Miami-Dade Assistant Fire Chief Raide Jadallah said that first responders suspended their rescue mission at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday. He reiterated during a press conference that the demolition was necessary to keep rescue workers safe.

An emergency order approving the demolition has already been signed.

Workers will bring down the Champlain Towers South on Sunday ahead of the expected arrival of Tropical Storm Elsa.

Structural concerns about the building prompted the stoppage of search and rescue efforts for more than 12 hours on Thursday.

The tower partially collapsed in the early morning hours of June 24.

Earlier on Saturday, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Lavine Cava confirmed that two more bodies were pulled from the debris overnight Friday into Saturday. The additional victims bring the death toll to 24, and another 126 who are presumed to be in the building at the time it crumbled are still missing.

Eighteen of the 22 people killed in the collapse have been identified. They are:

• Hilda Noriega, 92
• Antonio Lozano, 83
• Leon Oliwkowicz, 80
• Magaly Elena Delgado, 80
• Gladys Lozano, 79
• Christina Beatriz Elvira, 74
• Maria Obias-Bonnefoy, 69
• Frank Kleiman, 55
• Staci Dawn Fang, 54
• Manuel LaFont, 54
• Marcus Joseph Guara, 52
• Michael David Altman, 50
• Anna Ortiz, 46
• Anaely Rodriguez, 42
• Luis Bermudez, 26
• Andreas Giannitsopoulous, 21
• Lucia Guara, 10
• Emma Guara, 4

Officials have also confirmed that the 7-year-old daughter of a Miami firefighter was also among those killed in the collapse.

About a block from the Miami-area beachfront condominium tower that collapsed sits its sister building, Champlain Towers North.

It was erected in 1982 — a year after the now-partially collapsed Champlain Towers South — built by the same company, using the same materials and a similar design.

It has faced the same tides and salty air.

Last Thursday's collapse has made some residents of Champlain Towers North worried enough to leave, though most have remained. They say they are confident their almost 40-year-old, 12-story building is better maintained.

They say their building doesn't have the same problems with cracking in support beams and in the pool area that 2018 engineering reports show the south tower had.

"I've never seen any major structural issues" in the north building, said Philip Zyne, an attorney. "I'm not worried at all right now. I do want to get a full structural engineering and forensic examination done."

However, some residents aren't taking any chances, like Rebecca Weinstock, who bought a sixth-floor apartment four years ago. She's currently in New York, where she plans to stay.

"I am out my investment, I am out my apartment, I am out my future, but we are talking about lives here," she told the Associated Press.

She added she'll only return to the building if two independent engineers from outside the region determine it's safe to return.

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Monday that the death toll from a collapsed condominium tower had risen to 11 after first responders pulled an additional body from the rubble.

She added that 150 people remain unaccounted for and 136 have been accounted for following the Thursday morning collapse.

Officials have also identified four more of the deceased victims:
-Leon Oliwkowicz, 80
-Luis Bermudez, 26
-Anna Ortiz, 46
-Christina Beatriz Elvira, 74

Last week authorities identified the first four victims.
-Staci Dawn Fang, 54
-Antonio Lozano, 83
-Gladys Lozano, 79
-Manuel Lafont, 5

Levine Cava added that first responders are still focused on search and rescue efforts.

"We are exploring all possible avenues (first responders) identify," Levine Cava said. "Search and rescue operations continue."

Raide Jadallah, the assistant chief of rescue for Miami-Dade County, said that officials had discovered several large pockets in debris that might hold survivors.

He also cautioned that officials need to be judicious in moving debris, adding that missteps could result in further collapse. He noted that one rescuer fell 25 feet over the weekend during his work.

"What we're dealing with is a situation that includes complexity," he said. "Every time there's an action, there's a reaction."

Monday marked the fifth straight day first responders had searched a large pile of debris for survivors. Officials said first responders are working 12-hour shifts.

"This is the largest-ever deployment of task force resources in the history of Florida that is not a hurricane," Florida State Fire Marshall Jimmy Patronis said. "They come from Tallahassee, they come from Orlando, they come from Tampa, they come from Israel, they come from Mexico, they come from Jacksonville, they come from Ft. Myers. They leave their families to come work around the clock. The reward is the life they save."

Fire officials have also had to deal with a fire that broke out within the wreckage. As of Sunday, officials said they had contained that fire.

Jose "Pepe" Diaz, the chairman of the Miami-Dade County board of commissioners, spoke to the difficulties facing the loved ones of those still missing.

"The pain in their face, their expressions is unlike anything I've ever seen before," Diaz said. "It's very difficult to know what your loved one could still be alive and have the hope to believe that. And at the same time, just sit there and wait for that information to get to you. That has to be one of the most difficult things anyone can endure."

Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett shared the touching story of a young girl whose parent is still missing.

"When I came across her, she was sitting in a chair by herself, with nobody around her, looking at her phone," he said. "I knelt down, and I asked her, 'So what are you doing? Are you okay?' She said 'yes.' She was reading a Jewish prayer to herself by the site where one of her parents presumably is. That really brought it home to me."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis added that his state would begin deploying resources to investigate the cause of the collapse as soon as possible.

"There are things that need to be done at the state level," DeSantis said, "We obviously want to get information as soon as possible, so we pledge at the state if they need support from engineers, from experts whatever we need, whether it's Surfside or Miami, we're here to help. I think the people of Florida want to understand how this could happen and what could we do to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Mayor Cava said Thursday evening that $1.6 million have been raised to help families via https://SupportSurfside.org.
