	            	<p>With the unprecedented and unrelenting rainfall in south east Texas, helicopters from all parts of the industry, private, commercial and military are being pressed into service.</p>
<p>Past and similar weather- related disasters have typically fallen on the shoulders of government agencies to relieve the distress and move those in need to safety.</p>
<p>However the scale of Hurricane Harvey has set a new record high for damage and loss which has outstripped the capabilities of the Military and National Guard.  As those in need of help is in the tens of thousands, not hundreds.</p>
<p>HAI (Helicopter Association International) has made the offer through its membership to add helicopters and its database to aid in pulling families and elderly from precarious situations.  Some on rooftops, some from instantaneous islands, hospital evacuees and the most vulnerable, seniors in care homes.</p>
<p>It is times like these that show what the heart of aviation is all about.  Care, action and a willingness  to share valuable resources in providing the needed resources to get the job done.</p>
<p>Well done everyone.</p>
