Governor DeWine Issues Statement
on Recovery Work in Texas

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)— Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement regarding the work of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) in Texas [ [link removed] ]:

"I spoke with some members of our state teams in Texas this morning as they prepared to begin their fourth day of recovery work along the Guadalupe River. Crews from the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Ohio Department of Natural Resources are embedded with the Texas Department of Public Safety in three separate units, combing through the devastation left behind by last week’s catastrophic flash floods.

"Our teams - including several ODNR K-9s trained for search, rescue, and recovery missions - have been working long hours in hot temperatures, and I couldn’t be more proud of those who volunteered for this mission. When Ohio sees another state suffering, we don’t hesitate to help. Troopers tell me that the enormity of the destruction is unlike anything they’ve ever seen, especially in the area near Camp Mystic, but they remain motivated to do all they can to help.

"I thank our Ohio teams for their selfless dedication to the citizens of Texas, and Fran and I continue to pray for everyone impacted by this tragedy."
