Ryan Zinke: We’ve Made Well over a Thousand Rescues

EXCERPT:

ZINKE: "And we have people that do this every day. And so, you know, where we are located, multiple places, but we do take our cue from the Governor. And we all talk or we’re on the same communications band. We have centers of Corpus Christi and San Antonio. And then on our wildlife refuges themselves, we look at where the high ground is and move to high ground. Sheltering 30,000 people is going to be, as was pointed out, a big lift. But we have made well over a thousand rescues up to date, you know, and there is probably going to be another thousand as the waters rise. A lot of it is get your cues from the local authorities. And for us on the federal government side, we’re supporting the Governor. He is in charge at this point in time. But all of us are working together and we have great people out there working hard every day."
