Military Times: The governor of Texas on Monday activated the entire Texas National Guard in response to the flooding that has left a million people homeless after Hurricane Harvey.
The activation brings the number of Texas Guardsmen aiding in relief efforts to about 12,000, according to a news release from Gov. Greg Abbott’s office.
Military assets from across the country — aircraft, vehicles and emergency supplies — were sent to the Texas coast after Harvey made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Friday. Though downgraded to a tropical storm, continued rainfall is resulting in historic flooding in southeastern Texas.
