Nevada Task Force Continues to Assist Flood Recovery Operations in Texas

On the July 4 weekend, torrential rains in Texas Hill Country caused the Guadalupe River to surge over 20 feet, killing at least 135 people.
Climate change and human expansion intensified the flooding by increasing storm severity and reducing natural water absorption.
On Friday, Kerr County wrote that crews are `focused on recovering loved ones and bringing their families closure` as rescue teams face poor visibility and debris-filled rivers.
Organizations in Arizona and Utah saved over a dozen dogs, including a Coconino Humane Association team that drove six hours from Flagstaff to meet Concho Valley PAWS, and Tre-Tre required special cactus treatment.
Authorities caution residents against returning prematurely, and an informational meeting is planned for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 22, at Ingram Tom Moore High School Auditorium.
