Texas lawmakers will start working on their response to the state’s deadly flooding when they meet later this month in a special session. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) this week ordered the Legislature to consider a series of topics related to the storm, starting with improving and strengthening early warning systems and emergency communications.

Officials in Kerr County, where the majority of the deaths from the July 4 flash floods occurred, have yet to detail what actions they took in the early hours of the disaster.

Governor Abbott updates on Texas flood response with over 2,200 personnel deployed and various assistance measures in place.

Texas lawmakers failed to pass a bill in the regular legislative session that would have improved local governments’ emergency communications infrastructure.

Officials in a Texas town where nobody died amid the state's devastating flooding last week are crediting an updated siren system with saving lives.

At least 120 people are dead from the devastating flooding in the Texas Hill Country.

The threat of heavy rain is “slight” for this weekend, but with the ground fully saturated in Kerr County even small amounts of rainfall could cause flooding.

Shock has turned into grief across Texas where at least 120 people have died from flash floods and more were missing as the search for victims moved methodically along endless miles of rivers and rubble Thursday.
