    The Alden Water Rescue team was contacted on September 8, 2011 to provide mutual aid for water rescues in Tioga County, New York due to flooding from the Susquehanna River. Over the next 48 hours, the team carried out 21 adult rescues, 1 child rescue, 8 dog rescues and 4 cat rescues using an Avon rescue boat and RDC-rapid deployment craft. The flooding resulted in water levels between 4 to 12 feet deep. On September 11th, the team safely returned to Western New York after being one of the few water rescue teams deployed during the flooding event. Residents in the affected areas still faced months of repairs and cleanup from the destroyed communities.
