Hurricane Season is quickly approaching.
I have something i would like to discuss here with those of you whom reside in the Texas Gulf Coast region, specifically but not limited to Harris , Montgomery, Liberty , San Jacinto Counties.
Would you, or have you considered volunteering yourself and your Military Vehicle during times of Natural Disaster?
We along with many of those along the coastal region saw the tremendous response last year (Harvey) by citizens within our own areas and those that came in from all over the country to help us and our neighbors. Many of our high water capable military vehicles transitioned from simply a hobby and living historical exhibit to a tool of rescue for so many.
In 2015 i helped found a 501(c)(3) Search and Rescue group called "Lone Star Task Force" based out of Montgomery County. Most of the year we respond to missing persons for ground search but we also have boats and swiftwater/floodwater rescue technicians. Anyhow... fast forward to 2017. We were mobilized by Patton Village Police Department to stage and respond to Harvey and spent the next 7 days performing rescues, and resupplies utilizing our Deuces to those along the 59 corridor.
We have now partnered with Office of Emergency Management in Montgomery County and this sparked some thought.
Would there be any interest in -
1. Workshop / Meet & Greet discussing safe Floodwater operations with your military vehicle and preparing your vehicle for fording as well as post-event maintenance. Free Training!
2. Becoming a listed asset with the County or Lone Star Task Force to assist if able and willing during times of emergency. (Keep in mind it is voluntary and would have no time commitment or obligation)
Let me know your thoughts. I have a few photos of our assets below during trainings and the Hurricane response.
