The governor made the announcement Monday, as the death toll from floods topped 100 people.

“These brave Pennsylvanians will be departing in the next 24 hours to support Texans in the aftermath of this horrific event,” Shapiro said in a statement.

The task force, which is a part of the National Urban Search and Rescue Response System, can be deployed to disaster areas to provide assistance in structural collapse rescue.

While based in Philadelphia, the task force is supported by agencies state-wide. Its 70 members specialize in search, rescue, medicine, hazardous materials, logistics and planning.

Between 2015 and 2021, it supported at least 19 missions across the country, mostly involving hurricanes.
