A heroic team of 40 Alabamians is heading to Texas to provide much-needed disaster relief following the devastating floods. This highly skilled group is made up of members from Alabama Task Force 1 (out of Mobile), the Tuscaloosa Fire Department, and the Saraland Fire Department. Talk about a dream team! Their mission: search and rescue! They'll be locating, reaching, stabilizing, and rescuing survivors from damaged buildings and areas. The team boasts experts in rescue, canine search, medicine, hazmat, technical search, and communications. They're ready for anything! Governor Kay Ivey shared her support, reflecting on the tragic loss of a young girl from Mountain Brook during the floods. "Search and rescue remains the goal, and Alabama is going to do all we can to lend a helping hand to Texas," said Ivey. She also asked everyone to pray for the search and rescue team's safety and success. "Y’all, pray for Texas!" The team left at 30 p.m. today, ready to work in 12-hour shifts for up to two weeks. The Texas floods from the Fourth of July weekend tragically claimed over 100 lives. Let's keep Texas in our thoughts!Alabama Sends Help to Texas!
