The Alaska and California Air National Guard continue to conduct water rescue operations in Vidor, Texas, Aug. 31, 2017, in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. The Guardsmen from the AKANG’s 212th Rescue Squadron and CAANG’s 129th Rescue Wing are patrolling the area in motorboats, looking for people who are trapped in their homes or on rooftops because of the massive flooding. Once the residents are safely in the boats, the Guardsmen provide any necessary medical care and transport them to the nearest shelter. ( Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.
