Over the last decade, an array of Texas state and local agencies missed opportunities to fund a flood warning system intended to avert a disaster like the one that killed dozens of young campers and scores of others in Kerr County on the Fourth of July.

TEGNA Texas created a new charitable fund raising money to support people impacted by devastating floods in Central Texas.

Kerr County applied for federal grants to build a warning system to protect residents from flash floods. Under the Trump Administration, that kind of funding is drying up.

Four days after flash floods in central Texas killed more than 100 people, Kerr County officials took questions from reporters about when they knew the floods would pose a deadly threat, and did not to commit to a timeline of their official response.
