NUMBER OF REPORTED MISSING DROPS

NUMBER OF REPORTED MISSING FROM JULY 4TH FLOOD DROPS TO THREE --

The Kerr County Flood Disaster Joint Information Center has confirmed that three individuals remain missing at this time from the July 4th flood. Through extensive follow-up work among state and local agencies, many individuals who were initially reported as missing have been verified as safe and removed from the list. This has been an ongoing effort as investigators worked diligently to verify reports of missing persons and confirm their status.

“We are profoundly grateful to the more than 1,000 local, state, and federal authorities who have worked tirelessly in the wake of the devastating flood that struck our community,” Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said. “Thanks to their extraordinary efforts, the number of individuals previously listed as missing has dropped from over 160 to three.”

“This remarkable progress reflects countless hours of coordinated search and rescue operations, careful investigative work, and an unwavering commitment to bringing clarity and hope to families during an unimaginably difficult time,” Rice said.

“To every member of law enforcement, fire and rescue, emergency management, and supporting agencies — thank you,” Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said. “Your dedication, professionalism, and compassion have brought comfort and answers to so many.

Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring, Jr. added, “Our thoughts remain with the families still awaiting news, and we will continue to stand with them as efforts persist.”

Recovery operations continue throughout the Guadalupe River watershed by local, state, national and international search teams who continue to work to reunite the missing with their families.
