Alaska Air National Guardsmen conduct water rescue missions in Vidor, Texas, Aug. 31, 2017, in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. The Airmen, assigned to the 176th Wingʼs 212th Rescue Squadron, are patrolling the area in boats, looking for people who are trapped in their homes or on rooftops because of the massive flooding. Once the residents are rescued, the pararescuemen provide any necessary medical care and transport them to the nearest shelter. ( Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Balinda OʼNeal Dresel)
