As the dangerous flooding continues in Texas and parts of Louisiana, this is a time for our industry to come together and support our peers in the path of Hurricane Harvey. The American Red Cross is working hard to provide shelter and assistance to the hundreds of thousands who have been impacted by this disaster. Please consider donating to their efforts.
Our thoughts are with our members and colleagues in the affected area. We hope you are staying safe and dry, and urge you to listen to the advice of emergency officials. People in life-threatening situations that need rescue should call 9-1-1 or the U.S. Coast Guard at 281-464-4851.
