KERRVILLE, Texas – Volunteers are arriving in droves in Kerrville on Saturday to aid in flood recovery. The Texas Department of Emergency Management secured Tivy Antler Stadium as the official registration and check-in site for volunteers wanting to help the community this weekend.
Here are five key takeaways from the president's visit to Kerrville.
Search crews continued the grueling task of recovering the missing as more potential flash flooding threatened Texas Hill Country.
Texas lawmakers failed to pass a bill in the regular legislative session that would have improved local governments’ emergency communications infrastructure.
The president and first lady visited Kerrville to meet local officials and families of the victims of the recent flooding. Trump promised federal support, but his team emphasized the state's role.
The early warnings and alerts from the National Weather Service didn’t indicate a catastrophic flood was on its way.
It’s discouraging that during this time when we have such a loss of life, and so many people’s lives have turned upside down, that people are playing politics with this,” Noem told NBC's Kristen Welker.
