💨 Abstract

In Texas Hill Country, a sudden flood on July 4, 2025, resulted in at least 120 deaths and over 150 missing. The disaster raised questions about local leaders' responses to National Weather Service (NWS) warnings, echoing past criticisms of government inaction during natural disasters. Despite NWS alerts, many residents did not receive notifications, and the county's actions remain unclear.
