ND Air National Guard helps with Texas recovery from North Dakota
FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – The North Dakota Air National Guard is helping with search and recovery efforts after the Texas flash flooding, all without ever leaving North Dakota.
A 7-member team are flying MQ9 unmanned aircraft (in Texas) from the base in Fargo, using satellite technology.
Team members say they’re primarily focusing on places that don’t have roads or are difficult to see from the ground, but they also have technology to help them map out the area for first responders on the ground.
The team’s work started Thursday. They plan to be there through July 16.
Officials say they’ve been doing this type of work for 18-straight years.
