Thousands of flash flood warnings have been issued across the country and the number of flash flood emergencies is near-record, too.

The first State Flood Plan, published last year, identified $54 billion in flood mitigation, warning and data needs. The state has awarded around $660 million since the plan was published, with a special legislative session coming.

Sunday morning recovering efforts were suspended in Kerr County due to heavy rainfall and a new flash flood warning issued for the Hill Country.

The committees will be looking at warning systems, emergency communications, relief funding for the Hill Country floods, and overall natural disaster preparation.

Within minutes of being reported, this fake GoFundMe page was shut down, but not before scammers used a surprising tactic.
