KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Over the last decade, an array of Texas state and local agencies missed opportunities to fund a flood warning system intended to avert a disaster like the one that killed dozens of young campers and scores of others in Kerr County on the Fourth of July.

Kerrville residents are grappling with widespread damage to homes, cars and belongings after recent flooding. Many are turning to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for financial help.

Sunday is a day of prayer across Texas. But as many filed into churches, first responders and volunteers filed into Kerr County, holding out up in their search and rescue efforts.

FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration, in coordination with the Texas Division of Emergency Management, are opening a Disaster Recovery Center in Kerrville on Thursday, July 10, to help homeowners, renters and business owners impacted by the flooding.

Robert Earl Keen, who owns a ranch just outside Kerrville, is lending his talents in an upcoming concert that will benefit many of his Hill Country neighbors impacted by last week’s floods.

Kerrville city employees Rosa Ledesma and Alex Benitez talk with CNN’s Pamela Brown about how they received the call about the Texas flooding and jumped into action to save people.

Many Texans are still searching for loved ones and answers following the catastrophic flooding event over the weekend. Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring, Jr. joins Katy Tur to share how his community will “come up with a plan” to prevent this kind of event from happening again.
