💨 Abstract

Lawmakers in Texas will visit Kerr County to investigate the July 4 floods that killed at least 136 people, including campers at Camp Mystic. The hearing will scrutinize local officials' response and hear from residents. Records and 911 calls reveal the chaos and danger faced by survivors. Lawmakers are also addressing flood relief during a disputed special session focusing on redistricting. Proposals for better warning systems and infrastructure have been filed.
