Volunteers Ordered Evacuate Flood-Hit Kerr County Texas Amid Rising Rain Threat

News summary

Volunteers working to clean up and conduct search-and-rescue operations after the deadly July 4 flooding in Kerrville, Texas, have been ordered to evacuate due to incoming heavy rainfall that threatens to cause additional flooding. Kerr County officials issued urgent advisories warning of 1 to 3 inches of rain, with isolated amounts up to 6 inches possible, and noted that rivers and streams remain elevated and could rise rapidly. The flood watch remains in effect until 7 a.m. Tuesday, complicating efforts to find the approximately 170 people still missing from the initial disaster that killed at least 130, including children at Camp Mystic. Recent heavy rains and flash flooding over the weekend delayed search operations, and new flash flood warnings prompted evacuation alerts via mobile devices. Only authorized response teams under Unified Command are allowed to stay in the flood-affected areas, while most volunteers have been urged to move to higher ground for safety. Despite these challenges, some volunteers remain committed to continuing their efforts amid the ongoing threat.
