Local officials in Kerr County continue facing public scrutiny after days of seeming to deflect questions about their preparedness and response to the July 4 flash flood that left dozens dead.

A review of a messaging system by the National Weather Service has raised questions about the actions of local officials in one of the Texas counties hardest-hit by catastrophic flooding over the July Fourth weekend.

A week after catastrophic floods in Central Texas, key questions remain unanswered about how state and local officials prepared for and responded to the disaster.

Even before dozens died in flood waters on July 4, Texas ranked first in the U.S. in number of deaths due to natural disasters.

A "Basic Plan" for emergency response for three Texas counties labeled flash flooding as having a "major" impact on public safety, according to a page on a city website.

In a Sunday afternoon press conference, Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice indicated for the first time that officials would review their protocols.

The president created the FEMA Review Council to recommend overhauling the agency. The meeting collides with FEMA's response to deadly flooding.

Officials will conduct “a full review” of the emergency response to the July Fourth flash floods in Kerr County once rescue and recovery operations are finished, Kerrville City Manager Dalton ...

At least 150 people are known to be missing in Kerr County as a result of the flooding in central Texas, according to officials. At least a dozen others are missing in other parts of the state.

Kerr County officials say death toll has risen to 96 due to the Hill Country floods, including 60 adults and 36 children.
