KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — 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.

Texas officials face questions over who monitored weather and warned of floodwaters heading toward camps and homes.

More than 1,500 runners and walkers gathered on July 9 for 'Kerr County Runs Strong,' a fundraiser for those impacted by the flooding in Kerrville, began at Hops & Hounds in San Antonio.

Communities across the Brazos Valley are working together to help and support those affected by the catastrophic flood in Kerrville. In College Station a group of girls say they’re wanting to do what they can to help.

Many Texans are still searching for loved ones and answers following the catastrophic flooding event over the weekend. Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring, Jr. joins Katy Tur to share how his community will “come up with a plan” to prevent this kind of event from happening again.

State Rep. Wes Virdell, whose district includes Kerr County, voted against House Bill 13 earlier this year. The bill would have funded a statewide rural alert system. But after spending the weekend assisting in disaster zones caused by the floods, the state rep voiced a change of heart, per the Texas Tribune .

KERRVILLE, Texas — A growing memorial wall in the heart of Kerrville is bringing the Texas Hill Country community together as it grapples with immense loss following devastating floods. Photos, flowers and handwritten messages now line a fence along Water Street. Each item is a poignant reminder of the lives lost and those who are still missing.

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, alongside several Texas leaders, will visit Kerrville on Friday to meet with first responders and family members who were affected by the July 4 flood,
