Welch, United States - February 18, 2025 Soldiers from the West Virginia Army National Guard’s 601st Forward Support Company, 1092nd Engineer Battalion, 111th Engineer Brigade, were deployed on February 18, 2025, to tackle the aftermath of devastating floods in McDowell County. Stationed beside the Welch Community Hospital, the troops worked tirelessly to unclog road drainage systems and clear debris, racing against the clock to restore access and safety to the flood-ravaged area. The southern coal fields of the Mountain State have been pummeled by relentless floodwaters, prompting West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey to declare a State of Emergency across 13 counties. The widespread flooding event has left communities reeling, with the National Guard stepping in to provide critical support in Welch and beyond as recovery efforts intensify.
