When first responders become overwhelmed entities call the @TXEMTF8 to assist, and that was the case with the Hill Country floods. It is a massive undertaking requiring agencies from the entire state of Texas, and other countries, coming together as one.

We had a great time attending the @STRAC National Whole Blood Summit! It was a valuable opportunity to connect with experts and explore key issues in whole blood and prehospital transfusion. We’re excited to help the blood community apply these insights to improve patient care.

Texas also set up a base camp with 650 rooms in trailers, equipped with bathrooms, showers, and dining facilities for our first responders who came from across Texas and other states to help. Most are firemen and women and EMT teams. In addition, we have sent state troopers and police from across Texas to counties in the damaged areas. We supply generators. @TxDOT helps clear roads. @TXEMTF and various other agencies take on multiple tasks and provide support. This is just a part of the assistance Texas is providing in Houston and other counties affected by Beryl. Statewide, Texas has distributed over: 1.9 million bottles of water 230k ready-to-eat meals 56k bags of ice And we are not done yet. #txlege #HurricaneBeryl

Today, we joined our area partners to raise awareness on the dangers of leaving children in hot vehicles. More than 950 children have died over the past 25 years due to vehicular heatstroke. You can help save a life! Remember: Once you park, stop. Look. Lock.
