KERR COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 20 – Coordinated search and rescue efforts involving over 1,000 responders have reduced missing persons from over 160 to three, officials said after devastating Central Texas floods.
- On July 19, the Kerr County Flood Disaster Joint Information Center announced the missing count dropped from at least 97 to three, marking a sharp decline from over 160 unaccounted.
- In Kerr County’s Hill Country, historic flooding overwhelmed the Guadalupe River’s banks predawn July 4, and the Hill Country’s dry, dirt-packed soil hindered absorption, intensifying the surge.

- Verification work by Kerr County teams confirmed many initially listed as missing as safe, and over 2,000 local, state and federal personnel joined the recovery effort.
- Two weeks after the July 4 floods, recovery operations continue across the Guadalupe River watershed, with multilevel teams working to reunite families.
