Gov. Mike DeWine announced on Monday that he is sending Ohio state troopers to Texas to assist with search, rescue and recovery efforts. A July Fourth weekend deluge in Texas caused catastrophic flash flooding that has killed at least 89 people. Camp Mystic in Kerr County says Monday morning that it is “grieving the loss” of 27 campers and counselors as the search continues for victims of the disaster. The flooding sent a wall of water through the century-old summer camp Friday. The risk of life-threatening flooding was still high in central Texas with more rain on the way. The Texas Hill Country is home to several summer camps. Searchers there have found the bodies of 75 people, including 27 children. Fourteen other deaths have been reported in other parts of Texas. According to DeWine’s office, the governor contacted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to lend his support. "By sending in our teams from Ohio, we can support recovery work and give some relief to the Texas first responders who've been working nearly nonstop for several days straight," DeWine said in a news release. Twenty troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Mobile Field Force are expected to be in Texas. Multiple K-9s and their handlers from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources are also being dispatched to Texas. Major David Brown, officer in charge of the Mobile Field Force, answered questions about the mission on Monday before they departed. "Our biggest hope is that we can bring calm to chaos, and we can provide closure and hope and hopefully reunification to the families that are impacted the most," Brown said. They will provide traffic control, humanitarian aid and search and recovery in areas the flash flood hit the hardest. "Most likely we're going to be searching the river basin," Brown said. "That's tentatively what our plan is, understanding that they're getting a lot of resources thrown at them at the moment. So, we're going to be flexible and adaptable to what their needs are." Brown said the Mobile Field Force plans to be in place and ready to work by 6 a.m. Wednesday. They are expected to be in Texas for a week to nine days. "It makes me proud to know the caliber of troopers that we have here in Ohio that are willing to put their lives on hold to go help those that are in need," Brown said. Brown said the Mobile Field Force has deployed to help after similar natural disasters across the country, including Hurricane Katrina, and more recently, after the deadly tornado outbreak in Ohio in 2024.
