We appreciate the parents and students who were willing to come out and receive education that could potentially save a life in the future. A special thank you to our sponsors Castaway Youth Charities and Wetland Marine POC who helped support this great event and to the agencies who helped with teaching.

Just having enough supplies to make it through a hurricane isn’t enough. You need plenty to make it through what could be a LONG recovery period too. Water and electricity could be out for a week or more. Have enough non-perishable food, water, and medicine to last each person in your family for AT LEAST a week. Also make sure you have extra cash, a battery-powered radio, flashlights, and a portable crank or solar-powered USB charger to charge your cell phone. ready.gov/kit

The Texas Game Warden Search and Rescue Team and local partners have responded to numerous calls for service tonight involving people trapped by floodwaters in the Central Texas area.

Additional team members are strategically staged in areas across the state and remain ready to deploy in support of local communities and first responders as conditions change.

Monitor local forecasts and follow all safety directives from local officials. Do not drive around barricades, and avoid unnecessary travel in flooded areas. Never drive or walk through floodwater. It can conceal washed-out roads, debris and other hazards, and it is often deeper and moving faster than it appears.

Turn around, don’t drown. It’s not worth risking your life or anyone else's.
