Last night, the City of Snyder / Scurry County Office of Emergency Management received a request to stage Texas Task Force 2 (TX-TF2) at the WTC Coliseum in response to the devastating tornadoes affecting the Lubbock area.
For those unfamiliar, TX-TF2 is one of Texas’ elite Urban Search and Rescue teams. These highly trained professionals are equipped to respond to natural disasters like tornadoes, floods, and structural collapses. Their mission includes locating and rescuing victims, providing emergency medical care, and supporting incident management during large-scale emergencies.
We want to give a HUGE shout-out to Western Texas College for generously allowing us to use their facilities to support this effort. Their partnership and quick support helped ensure the team had a safe and functional base of operations while awaiting deployment orders.
Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the storms, and we’re proud to play a small role in supporting the responders working to help our fellow Texans.
