On Oct 29th, Texas Governor Greg Abbott. reissued the Drought Disaster Declaration for most counties in Texas. It is estimated that approximately 15'“-20” of rain is needed to break the drought. Though the threat of wildfires is great, it is hopeful that this rainfall does not come all at one time. This increases our chances for serious flooding.
Emergency Response Team members are trained to respond quickly following an event. They provide a Christian and Caring presence along with helping hands to disaster victims. ERT’s assist in all types of disasters including Hailstorms, Floods, Wildfires, Tornados and Hurricanes.
ERT’s can train as individuals or as a team. Our Trainers can come to your facility or create a training event in close proximity to several individuals.
