2025 TEXAS FLOOD RESPONSE

Operational Update: Aerial Recovery and Task Force CHASE in Hunt, Texas

Since July 10th, Aerial Recovery, in collaboration with Task Force CHASE, has been actively supporting the Hunt Fire Department, local authorities, the Kerr County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and now the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in response to the devastating flooding that struck Kerr County and surrounding areas in Central Texas.

Our teams have been fully integrated into ongoing operations, focusing on:
- Volunteer Management - The daily organization, tracking and support up to 200 volunteers daily to help ensure mission success.
- Mapping and Search Coordination - Developing and distributing detailed digital and physical grid maps to guide field teams and enhance area coverage.
⁠ - Communications Infrastructure - Deploying multiple Starlink communication devices and tactical communication systems to enable real-time coordination across multiple search sectors as well as providing Harris radios for inner team communication and reporting.
⁠ - Specialized Search Operations - Collaborating closely with K-9 and dive teams to continue targeted recovery efforts in critical areas.

We will continue to support these operations until recovery efforts are formally concluded by the appropriate authorities. Once that decision is made, Aerial Recovery and Task Force CHASE are prepared to transition into the rebuilding and community support phase, providing assistance with debris removal, cleanup, resource distribution, and setting the stage for long-term recovery, or as long as our resources and funding allow. We are deeply humbled by the extraordinary hospitality and resilience of the Hunt community, the professionalism of the Hunt Fire Department, and the tireless work of the Kerr County officials. To the many volunteers and residents who have welcomed us with open arms and partnered with us in this mission, thank you. Your unity and compassion are truly the backbone of this recovery effort.

Follow Our Missions

Our team is made up of heroes from our Heal the Heroes initiative. This program repurposes struggling veterans and first responders through a year-long healing program. Once completed, they have the opportunity to train to become Humanitarian Special Operators. These Humanitarian Special Operators conduct high-risk missions in anti-human trafficking and disaster response.

Our team is highly effective and has rescued over 8,000 people in the last 36 months. We love showing the world what these men and women are capable of. We are grateful to provide life-saving service opportunities to those who live to serve!

INITIATIVES

Aerial Recovery stands upon four core initiatives, which all work together to accomplish our mission.

Heal the Heroes

The Heal the Heroes Initiative gives veterans and first responders who are struggling, an opportunity to heal and find their purpose again. Heal the Heroes is a 1 year program that starts by focusing on healing, retraining and repurposing these heroes into what we call Humanitarian Special Operators. These Humanitarian Special Operators then deploy on disaster relief missions and Anti-Human Trafficking Operations.

Disaster Response

Our Heroes are trained as Humanitarian Special Operators who deploy to disasters across the globe to give a hand up to those most in need. Poverty, disasters, and desperation create vulnerability. Traffickers know this, and they prey upon these vulnerable people. Aerial Recovery is committed to protecting those most vulnerable in their greatest hour of need.

Anti-Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world today. 49.6 million people are currently enslaved for either labor, sexual exploitation, or organ harvesting. Our Heroes deploy globally to work alongside local police, prosecutors, and special task forces to assist in shutting down these criminal operations and to rescue children. Aerial Recovery also provides support to partner organizations who assist with the aftercare of victims and the prevention of at risk children through donations for aftercare centers, adoption agencies and more.

Animal Rescue

Aerial Recovery is dedicated to the dual mission of rescuing both humans and animals from crisis situations, recognizing the deep bond between them. Since 2017, we have worked to support communities impacted by natural disasters, understanding that many individuals refuse to leave their homes without their pets, while others are forced to abandon them, leading to further suffering. We have multiple programs all contributing to the rescue and rehabilitation of God’s precious creatures, reintegrating them into society to become healers themselves. Many of the animals we save are utilized for therapy programs for veterans, first responders, survivors of trafficking, children with special needs and vulnerable youth.
