Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes Petty Officer Scott Ruskan for his brave actions during a major flood in central Texas. In July 2025, heavy rains caused rivers to overflow quickly, putting thousands of people in danger.
During his very first rescue mission, Ruskan saved 165 people from the rising water. He also worked as a medical coordinator on the ground to make sure victims got the help they needed while conditions were still dangerous.
The resolution also thanks all the other Coast Guard members and first responders who helped during the disaster. It highlights how their hard work saved lives during one of the worst floods in the history of the state.
