The Sabine River crested at just under 28 feet, and people in Deweyville are banding together to get through.

They're making it with support from the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

The mobile command center is fully equipped so the team can talk to any agency they need to across the nation.

“All throughout these 12 counties we can get resources from them if we need them. It's a real big team effort and that's what it takes is team work," says Emergency Management Coordinator for Jasper, Newton, and Sabine Counties, Billy Ted Smith.

The flood waters are nothing new to Charles Buxton and his son Dakota.

“Everyday life still goes on even though we have to boat in and out. There's nothing really that changed except you don't have a yard now. It's full of water," says Charles.

Dakota says he is learning from the experience. "I was going out there a while ago and it got inside my boots but it wasn't cold. Like most people think it's cold, but it's not to me," says Dakota.

The mobile command center has been in Deweyville since October and Billy Ted Smith says he and his team of 5 will stay until the waters recede.

Smith's team is working with law enforcement, game wardens, and outreach groups.

The Red Cross is also in the area passing out food and drinks.

The Deweyville community is pulling together from the kids and their parents, to the high school students.

"Everybody knows everybody, something happens everybody knows pretty fast and anytime anybody needs help with anything we're always there with each other," says Deweyville High School Senior Jacob Burris.
