Four New Mexico National Guard helicopters will head to Texas to help with Hurricane Ike, Gov. Bill Richardson's office said.

"I wanted Gov. (Rick) Perry and those affected along the Gulf Coast to know that our thoughts and prayers are with them as they brace for Hurricane Ike," Richardson said in a statement. "I assured Gov. Perry that New Mexico's disaster and recovery resources are on the way, and we are ready to send more help as needed."

The state of New Mexico also is sending 11 ambulances to affected areas.

The state's Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is monitoring the hurricane and will consider requests for aid as they come in.
