deploying to San Marcos, Texas to help following flooding of the Blancos River.
The Virginia Beach-based group left Virginia on Wednesday. The advance team is meeting with local
emergency management officials and is expected to coordinate a volunteer effort beginning
Thursday.
Operation Blessing has deployed its mobile command center from a Chesapeake, Virginia
warehouse, a construction trailer from Ocala, Florida, and volunteer supplies will be sent from the
charity's Dallas warehouse, where they are kept pre-staged for disaster response in the region.

water in 27 countries around the world.
