The teams include members of the Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue (BORSTAR) unit, air crews from CBP’s Air and Marine Operations, and personnel from the Office of Field Operations. These units bring advanced capabilities such as aerial reconnaissance, swift-water rescue, and emergency medical response to support local and state authorities struggling with widespread damage and displacement.
CBP’s deployment is part of a long-standing commitment to assist in domestic emergencies. The agency, which functions as the nation’s largest law enforcement body, has a history of providing critical disaster response support, including during hurricanes and prior flood events. Their nationwide reach allows them to quickly mobilize personnel and equipment when local agencies are overwhelmed.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Residents in affected areas may notice increased helicopter traffic, field personnel activity, and temporary road closures as rescue operations continue. Those in need of assistance are encouraged to follow guidance from local emergency management offices and stay tuned to public safety updates. CBP’s involvement aims to alleviate pressure on local responders and expedite recovery efforts.
