Crews search for Texas flood victims/Gov. Mike Braun announces more support for Texas
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Republican Gov. Mike Braun has announced that Indiana is sending additional support to Texas to aid in recovery efforts following devastating floods.
Through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, five first responders and three trained dogs have been dispatched to Texas, he said in a social media post. The names of the responders were not included in the post.
The Emergency Management Assistance Compact is a mutual aid agreement that allows states to assist each other during emergencies and disasters. The compact facilitates the deployment of resources and personnel across state lines to provide critical support in times of need.
Braun in the post emphasized the readiness of Indiana’s residents to help others in times of crisis, noting that “Hoosiers answer the call every time.”
Across Texas, shock has turned into grief. At least 120 people died from flash floods and more were missing as the search for victims moved methodically along endless miles of rivers and rubble Thursday.
