At least 119 people have been found dead in nearly a week since heavy rainfall overwhelmed the river and flowed through homes and youth camps in the early morning hours of July 4. Ninety-five of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least three dozen children.

Congressman Pete Sessions will join President Donald Trump in Kerr County on July 11 to survey flood damage and ongoing recovery efforts.

A Kerrville-area river authority executed a contract for a flood warning system that would have been used to help with emergency response, local officials said.

KERR COUNTY, Texas — In the wake of deadly flash floods across central Texas, First Coast News' parent company, TEGNA, announced the creation of the TEGNA Texas Flood Relief Fund.

Kerr County applied for federal grants to build a warning system to protect residents from flash floods. Under the Trump Administration, that kind of funding is drying up.

Over the last decade, an array of local and state agencies have missed opportunities to fund a flood warning system intended to avert the type of disaster that swept away dozens in Kerr County, Texas.

Twice, the Texas Division of Emergency Management turned down Kerr County's requests for money to improve flood warnings.

Kerr County workers affected by July 4 flooding can now apply for disaster unemployment assistance through the Texas Workforce Commission.
