Anyone on the board been activated to head to the disaster area for aid?
I know we have a few members from Texas. Stay safe.

We sent two 407s and crew from our region to Texas. I signed up for the 2nd wave if needed.

NYS (or city) sent about 150 memebers from task force one, with some air national guard folks. I'm on standby(TF-2/NYS the state's team not the city). USAR and Task force one:

An ambulance task force was sent south from our area.

I had a chance to go but I work too many different jobs and could not get time off from them all. I am picking up shifts to backfill others though

Checking in: Cypress Creek has flooded and cut our district essentially in half. Got to work with some amazing volunteers and some of the good folks from the Cajun Navy and good people all around. Harris County Pct. 4 constables and their Humvee are amazing too, chest-high water met its match. I'm fine, no flooding in my neighborhood yet and we still have power and water. Home today than back tomorrow

rumors say i'm getting sent down from NYS. 2nd team from NY. Here to support you guys/gals. Pm me if you need anything(maybe i can sneak it in a bag from NYS)

Very strongly recommend you bring a space heater to dry boots/shoes with. There's a lot of puddles and wet feet suck.

My county was hit hard. One city wiped off the map. Another under the real possibility of half of it being underwater. We have crews who lost everything and are still on duty working their asses off. We have been in surge mode since Thursday and lots of our staff have been sleeping in any spare spot they can. At one point we had only one hospital open in the county, and we are compeltely cut off form Houston for the time being. We actually are running out of almost everything right now.

We are. The island flooded, but I'm above the waters, and most of them have already drained out. I'm exhausted. Her and the puppers are all safe and sound, just annoyed I've been gone way more than home since Wednesday.

if it helps, We're on our way! We're heading out in a few hours, more NYS USAR teams, and air national guard inbound.
edit: with supplies(mostly medicine) from both NY and NJ. First stop is katy(at least for now).

The pride of Mobile Alabama, the USAR unit of Mobile Fire Rescue has gassed up and packed the 18- wheeler full of K-9s, trauma Dr.s, generators, medics, swift water gear, med supplies. Two 'Duck' boats that usually haul sightseers around the harbor have been loaded on flatbeds and Gone To Texas. Ya'll in the middle of it, please be careful.
