#DYK the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service employs 18 disaster assessment and recovery, DAR, agents throughout the state, and nine of them have had military experience serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps? 

“When Hurricane Katrina hit, my wife and kids were in Louisiana, and I was stationed in Maryland. I felt helpless that I wasn’t able to get to them and provide any help or reassurance. Because of my experience, I easily relate to and empathize with individuals and communities affected by disasters. I do not want anyone to ever go through what my wife and family or the other people in Louisiana did during Katrina.” -Will Stevens, 20 year, U.S. Marine Corps veteran and current DAR team member.
