As the nation continues to mourn the loss of these souls during the Texas flood, some so many great first responders are on-site and helping in so many ways, including one New Jersey man who helped to rescue many who were caught in this horrible natural disaster.

 

 

The Rescue Operation During The Texas Flooding Disaster

According to a recent Patch article, a New Jersey resident, Scott Ruskan,  is being honored after reports indicate he saved more than 160 people from the deadly flooding in Central Texas over the Fourth of July weekend.

In addition, "According to Newsweek, Scott Ruskan, 26 of Warren County, is a Petty Officer with the U.S. Coast Guard stationed in Corpus Christi, TX, who was in charge of triage at Camp Mystic. The summer camp housing 700 teen girls and children was among the hardest hit areas at the time the flash flood erupted in the Guadalupe River outside of San Antonio on July 4th."

God bless Mr. Ruskan and all the first responders who have helped in rescue and recovery efforts in Central Texas. The brave men and women, as always, are all heroes in their "first responder" efforts to help during this disaster. President Trump will be on-site this week to see recovery efforts in Texas firsthand.
