Members of the Texas Game Warden Search & Rescue Team rescued two people from the roofs of their cars in Milam County last night. They had driven through flood waters & were washed off the roadway and downstream before coming to a stop against a fence.

Turn around, don’t drown.

The Texas Task Force Operational Exercise 2026 was a huge success!

The large-scale joint training simulated hurricane and tornado damage, catastrophic flooding and hazardous materials incidents, pushing teams to work together in fast-changing and complex conditions.

Exercises likes these help keep teams sharp and prepared to respond quickly when Texans need them most.
