Houston County Rescue Unit, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, operates entirely on volunteer effort. Our dedicated team offers comprehensive land and water search and rescue services, available 24/7, spanning a radius of over 250 miles—all without charge. With a legacy spanning six decades, HCRU has successfully recovered numerous individuals from various water bodies, extending our assistance beyond state borders to Louisiana and beyond.

Specializing in underwater recovery operations, we tackle the toughest challenges posed by nature's harshest waterways. Our core mission revolves around reuniting families with their missing loved ones and extending unwavering support to law enforcement agencies whenever needed.
