德克萨斯州洪水泛滥后,救援工作从寻找幸存者转向恢复任务,因为找到生还者的希望开始渺茫。

周一,死亡人数超过 100 人。由于担心天气恶化,州长格雷格·阿博特发誓要不遗余力地找到每一位失踪人员。

但第一批救援人员面临着一个严峻的现实:随着搜寻工作进入第五天,找到幸存者的可能性越来越小。

全国搜救协会执行主任克里斯·博耶告诉《纽约时报》,“何时开始讨论恢复是社区和社区领导人非常个人的决定”。

他还补充道:“你不会想过早地开始使用‘恢复’这个词。” 但你也不想给人虚假的希望。’

他说,现实情况是,在洪水泛滥的情况下,“你必须迅速赶到那些人身边”。“洪水来袭时,通常很难找到很多活着的人。”

官员证实,在独立日假期周末的悲剧中,已有104人丧生,其中包括27名来自基督教女子营地“神秘营”的女孩和辅导员。

至少有10名营员和一名19岁的辅导员凯瑟琳·费鲁佐仍然下落不明,营地敦促“神秘营”的家人“继续祈祷”。

据《华尔街日报》报道,这些家庭在悲剧发生后于周五收到了一份特别通知。

通知中写道:“您的女儿下落不明,我们就此通知您。”

Rescue efforts to find survivors in the aftermath of flash floods in Texas were shifting toward a recovery mission as hopes that anyone would be found alive began to fade. 

The death toll surpassed 100 on Monday and amid fears of worsening weather Governor Greg Abbott vowed to stop at nothing to find every single one of those still unaccounted for.

But first responders have been confronted with the sobering reality that, as the search enters a fifth day, finding survivors is growing increasingly unlikely.

National Association for Search and Rescue executive director Chris Boyer told the New York Times it is ‘a very personal decision by that community and the community leaders about when to start discussing recovery.’ 

He added: ‘You don’t want to start using the word “recovery” too soon. But you also don’t want to give false hope.’

He said that the reality is ‘you’ve got to get to those folks quick,’ in a flooding scenario. ‘With floods, you don’t typically find a lot of people alive.’ 

Officials confirmed 104 people had died in the Fourth of July holiday weekend tragedy, including 27 girls and counselors from the all-girls Christian Camp Mystic.

At least 10 campers and one 19-year-old counselor, Katherine Ferruzzo, remain unaccounted for as the camp urges Camp Mystic families to ‘continue to pray.’ 

These families on Friday received an extraordinary note in the midst of the tragedy, the Wall Street Journal reported.

‘If your daughter is not accounted for you have been notified,’ the note read.
