As the hours go by, the work does not let up for the hundreds who are searching around the clock for the victims still missing from the Central Texas floods, including an international group of first responders that came from Mexico to lend a helping hand. It is a group made up of firefighters and first responders from the city of Acuna, just across the border from Del Rio. They are being credited with finding one of the most recent bodies recovered shortly after noon on Monday.
Main Idea: Acuña Search and Rescue teams from Mexico are helping search for victims after the devastating Central Texas floods.
Key Points:
The flood search shows how disasters can leave families waiting longer for news, and recovery costs may fall on taxpayers and local communities.
Acuña Search and Rescue and Acuña first responders add extra skilled help, which can speed up body recovery and support US-Mexico emergency cooperation.
