Texas police described some of the harrowing rescues they conducted after flash floods engulfed camps and homes in the state's Hill Country.

While there is not much that can be done at night because it's so dark, there are some people who are continuing the very slow, methodical process of untangling huge debris, where most of the remaining missing victims are believed to be.

The Indiana Task Force 1 was deployed on July 8 to assist in search and rescue operations in Kerr County, Texas.

The Austin, Texas, fire chief is being accused of denying requests to send rescuers to Kerrville days before the catastrophic flooding — because of an $800,000 dispute with the state government. “Highly trained swift water rescue teams” were requested by the state in last week before the floods.

In early July 2025, a claim began circulating on social media that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum sent rescue teams to Texas in response to the deadly floods that struck the state over the Fourth of July weekend.
