ROSWELL, N.M. – The New Mexico National Guard, working with county and state agencies responding to extreme flooding in and around Roswell, has rescued over 300 people.<\/p>\n

Over 75 New Mexico National Guard members remained on the ground Tuesday for this mission. After the flooding, the Guardsmen used\u00a0over two dozen\u00a0light medium tactical vehicles\u00a0to evacuate people and transport them to safety. Thirty-eight people were taken to local hospitals. The light medium tactical vehicles can drive in up to 4 feet of water, making them an essential tool in these high-water rescues.<\/p>\n

The Guard\u2019s Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT, performed at least one swift water rope save, a skill they were trained in due to the Ruidoso floods. They also conducted more than 125 welfare checks to ensure residents were safe.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe feel for the New Mexicans affected by this latest flooding in our state,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Miguel Aguilar, the New Mexico National Guard\u2019s adjutant general. \u201cBecause of the previous flooding in Ruidoso, we have the experience and were ready for this. We\u2019ve worked all night and continue to work with swift water rescue teams and other partner agencies to help our fellow citizens get to safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that the waters have receded, the Guard is\u00a0helping to assess\u00a0damage across the city.<\/p>\n
