My thoughts are with the people of Houston in the wake of this devastating storm.
While my heart is heavy looking at the images of stranded families and damaged neighborhoods, I’m in awe of the bravery of first responders and civilians who are out there rescuing and supporting their neighbors.
When our fellow Americans need help, Pennsylvanians are always there to answer the call — and that’s why I’ve directed Pennsylvania’s Taskforce 1 to assist in the recovery effort throughout Hurricane Harvey, and in its aftermath to help the community rebuild. I’m grateful to our rescue teams for helping their neighbors.
