The Cameron County Office of Emergency Management joined community leaders, first responders, and residents at the 25th Anniversary Remembrance Ceremony of the Queen Isabella Causeway Collapse, held at the Port Isabel Event & Cultural Center.

September 15, 2001, remains a solemn and unforgettable day in Cameron County history. Twenty-five years ago, the collapse of the Queen Isabella Causeway tragically claimed the lives of eight people and forever impacted their families, loved ones, first responders, and our surrounding communities.

We honor the eight lives lost, remember those affected by this tragedy, and recognize the first responders and agencies who answered the call during one of the most difficult moments our community has faced.

As emergency management professionals, moments like this remind us of the importance of preparedness, coordination, communication, and working together to protect the communities we serve.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember, honor, and never forget.

🇺🇸 We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.

Today, the Cameron County Judge’s Division Office of Emergency Management & Fire Marshal Service joined our community in remembering the lives lost and the heroes who answered the call on and after September 11, 2001.

We are especially grateful to the law enforcement officers, fire departments, veterans, and citizens from across Cameron County who came together to participate in the County’s Remembrance Ceremony.

Their presence is a powerful reminder that the strength of our community is found in the people who stand together, serve one another, and never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Today, we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, the families who were forever changed, and the countless heroes who continue to serve our communities every day.

September 11, 2001 — We Remember. 🇺🇸
