It’s been over one week since the Nevada Task Force 1 (NV-TF1) left Las Vegas to assist with search and rescue and recovery operations in flood-ravaged parts of Texas. Kerr County is where catastrophic flooding occurred over the July 4 weekend.

Around 6-10 inches of rain fell across the region over the weekend causing floods that prompted rescues and evacuations.

Major General Thomas M. Suelzer with the Texas National Guard said a remotely piloted aircraft, or drone, was launched out of Houston Sunday to help with rescue and recovery. The MQ-9 Reaper is operated out of Houston and provides reconnaissance to the search and rescue teams.
