"It's a scientific, methodical process to identify human remains," Levine Cava told a briefing. The only people known to have survived were pulled from the wreckage within hours after part of the 12-story oceanfront Champlain Towers South condominium complex collapsed without warning in the early morning hours of June 24. Out of caution officials issued a voluntary evacuation notice for sister complex, Champlain Towers North, which was built around the same time as the doomed structure and remains occupied. "Our structural engineer has said to the condominium board that he would allow his children to live in there, given what he knows now," Burkett said of Champlain Towers North. Miami-Dade County Mayor Cava said officials and family members have discussed creating a memorial for the victims, but have yet to determine whether it would be on the site of the collapse.
