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.

As questions swirl surrounding the timeline of who was notified about the flooding when, and if more could have been done, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said an alert from the National Weather Service was sent to people in the flood zone -- but she said that doesn’t mean that people heard it.

The Kerr County sheriff, Kerrville mayor and Kerrville police chief spoke to reporters Wednesday morning with the latest information on the deadly flash flooding in the Texas Hill Country.

The organizations working together to help the flood victims said that 'no additional in-kind donations (clothing, food, supplies) are needed in Kerrville.' They said the best way to help is with monetary donations.
