After historic flooding ravaged Nebraska in mid-March 2019, the Nebraska National Guard would complete nearly a month of flood-related missions – the largest domestic response in state history at the time. Their efforts would result in rescuing 112 citizens and 13 pets; delivering more than 60 tons of hay to stranded livestock; placing more than 2,000 sandbags; supporting eight counties with traffic control; and much more. This video is a brief overview of those efforts. (Nebraska National Guard video edited by Spc. Lisa Crawford)
