    Virginia Task Force 2 Urban Search and Rescue Team deployed last night from Virginia Beach to New York, and will be heading out into the field to begin searches in Jamaica, NY. We are fortunate to have such amazing first responders, and providing help to others less fortunate is truly the Virginia way.

    Incredibly proud to hear that the Virginia National Guard rescued 8 people on the Eastern Shore from high water yesterday. Thanks to all of our first responders for their hard work and dedication before, during and after Hurricane Sandy.
    Virginia Guard Soldiers rescue stranded citizens in the Eastern Shore area

    ety at two locations on Cattail Road in the Mears, Va. area Oct. 30. The rescue mission took place two days after another high water transport required carrying a citizen who was unable to walk more than 200 yards through chest-high water. Virginia State Police had asked the Soldiers to conduct health and welfare checks at two locations they had not been able to reach. At the first location, the Soldiers had to cut through trees to enable their medium tactical truck access to the house where a family of five, including a young child, needed assistance to leave their house that was surrounded by high water. At the second location, Soldiers had to trudge through two miles of high water, cutting trees as they went, but unable to get their truck to the house where a husband and wife needed evacuation. Using the family's boat, the Soldiers guided them about half a mile through the high water, then walked the rest of the way to the truck for evacuation. Both groups were evacuated to family members whose homes were not threatened by high water. (Photo by Command Sgt. Maj. Dennis Green, Virginia National Guard)

    Proud that hear that Fairfax's own Virginia Task Force One urban search and rescue team has been deployed to New Jersey to help with Hurricane Sandy rescue efforts. Wishing them a safe return soon.

    Many states along the Mid-Atlantic and the East Coast have shelters open in response to Hurricane Sandy. Search for an open shelter by texting SHELTER + a zip code to 43362 (4FEMA). Here’s an example text message: Shelter 01234 (standard rates apply)

    CEOs of more than 80 big American corporations voiced support today for a comprehensive, bipartisan deficit reduction plan in a joint statement organized by the bipartisan Fix the Debt campaign. The statement calls on Congress to pass a deficit reduction package that includes tax reform that raises new revenue, entitlement reforms and spending cuts. More here: http://1.usa.gov/TieRD4
