The Trump Administration has been closely monitoring and supporting the rescue efforts on the ground in Kerry County, Texas where at least 41 people remain missing after flash floods tore through parts of central Texas.
Trump signed a disaster declaration over the weekend to “ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need.”
Trump shared the news over the weekend on TRUTH Social:
I just signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need. These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing. The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State. Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard, together with State First Responders, has saved more than 850 lives. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!
Gov. Abbott thanked President Trump on X, saying, “Thank you, @realDonaldTrump, for your dedication to Texas. Collaboration between our state, local, and federal partners is critical to our state’s recovery. Thank you to our brave first responders working around the clock to find missing Texans.”
