Coast Guard MH-65 Supports Flood Recovery Efforts

Medevacs 12-Hour-Old Baby From Flood-Impacted Cleveland, Texas

You don't always associate the need for the Coast Guard when it comes to inland rescue efforts... but after recent flooding, the USCG came (again) to the rescue in a semi-aquatic emergency. 

The Coast Guard medevaced a 12-hour old baby girl from flood-impacted Cleveland, Texas, Friday.

Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston watchstanders received a request at approximately 11:45 a.m. from Harris County Emergency Operations Center personnel stating a newborn baby was reportedly experiencing low oxygen levels at Texas Emergency Hospital, which does not have a neonatal intensive care unit.

Due to flooding in the area, emergency medical services personnel could not transport the baby via ambulance.

Watchstanders coordinated the launch of an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Houston to respond. The aircrew arrived on scene, took aboard the baby, her mother, and a paramedic, and transported them to the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. The baby was reported to be in stable condition.

Coast Guard Air Station Houston has provided 24/7 Search and Rescue capability to Texas and the Louisiana Gulf Coast since 1963. With three MH-65E "Dolphin" helicopters, AIRSTA Houston's area of responsibility extends from the Colorado River to White Lake, Louisiana.
