~ SACRAMENTO - In response to the severe flooding impacts in Texas, Governor Gavin Newsom has announced the deployment of an additional 18 highly skilled Urban Search and Rescue Team members. These teams will assist with ongoing search and rescue operations in the hardest hit areas.
The deployment includes four units of Human Remains Detection (HRD) Teams, which also include eight canines. These teams are from the Los Angeles County, Riverside City, Menlo Park, and Orange County Fire Departments. This is in addition to the nine members that were deployed yesterday from Riverside City and Oakland City.
Governor Newsom expressed his concern for the scale of loss and devastation that Texas is currently experiencing. He stated, "California is proud to lend a helping hand to our fellow Americans."
The 18 Urban Search and Rescue Team members will use their highly-developed and specialized skills to assist emergency operations in coordination with Texas officials through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is deploying these crews based on priorities and direction from state and local officials.

Nancy Ward, Director of Cal OES, emphasized the importance of these experienced teams in providing assistance to those in need. She stated, "These search and rescue professionals have the training needed to navigate extreme conditions."
There is potential for additional flood impacts in the area, and California stands ready to send more resources as requested.
California has a long history of deploying resources to various disasters both nationally and internationally since 1992. This includes Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria, Iniki (Hawaii), Northridge Earthquake, September 11 attacks, World Trade Center bombing, Hurricane Katrina and Rita, Hurricane Ian, Camp Fire in Paradise, Oklahoma City Bombing, and Montecito Mudslides.
It should be noted that this deployment does not affect California's emergency response or firefighting capabilities.
In other news related to California, the First Partner recently visited the Inland Empire to meet with farm communities and immigrant support groups impacted by the Trump Administration's federal immigration raids. The First Partner visited TODEC, a local nonprofit organization that has been providing support to those affected by these raids.
Additionally, California has made significant progress towards its goal of conserving 30% of its land and coastal waters by adding over one million acres in just one year. This is equivalent to the size of Glacier National Park. This comes at a time when the Trump Administration is making efforts to reduce protections for public lands.
Governor Newsom remains committed to supporting and protecting all Californians, whether it be through disaster response or conservation efforts.
