Auxiliary officials play important role in North Dakota floods

March 30th, 2009
Critical integration of efforts and resources from Air Force Auxiliary officials has helped the citizens of North Dakota during the recent flooding that hit that region in the past several days.

The Air Force Auxiliary is the official federal aviation arm of the Civil Air Patrol that provides emergency services to the Air Force and its customers.

The North Central Region of CAP has been flying Air Force Auxiliary missions since March 19 when the unit received word about the potential of flooding in the Red River area of North Dakota, as well as other surrounding areas in Minnesota and South Dakota. Since then, they have flown more than 30 sorties and captured hundreds of visual images to give emergency responders and on-scene commanders the most up-to-date picture of the affected areas.
