TEXSAR Responds - Guadalupe River Flooding - 4th of July Weekend

TEXSAR is responding to requests for support to the floods affecting Kerr County, and beyond, in Texas. Some are saying this event is worse than the horrific Memorial Day Wimberley floods of 2015. We will be deploying volunteer "ground pounders," swiftwater teams, boats, drone teams, K9s and whatever else requesting agencies need of us. Many of the victims who have been washed away from summer camps are children less than 10 years old. Details continue to come in as this will be an extended response effort.

Please help us ensure that TEXSAR can respond fully for as long as we are needed. TEXSAR never stops.

UPDATE 1: We could not be more proud of our teams and the work they are performing. The work is hard on them and our equipment. We are increasing our goal for the online campaign due to the changing conditions and scope of the mission as it evolves over time.

UPDATE 2: Our teams have expanded their reach. Equipment continues to take a beating. More news as it develops.

UPDATE 3: Our goal keeps changing because the duration of the mission looks to expand and we have many volunteers to feed, house and equip. We have already had to replace a few key pieces of equipment and we feel confident there will be more to come.

UPDATE 4: As of 9 pm on July 5, we have 42 volunteers on the ground in the Kerrville area. Our Community Support team is poised to deploy when the agencies managing the response calls for them. More members are arriving tomorrow, along with several K9 teams. As the waters recede, there are more debris fields to go over. The needs continue. Thank you for your support to make sure we are always ready and prepared to serve. This is going to be a continuing, long-term response. It looks like we are heading into other areas, too. We would be remiss if you did not say thank you for your signs of appreciation, your prayers and your support of many types...that means the world to those deployed.
