Texans on Mission is monitoring closely the flood emergency unfolding in the Hill Country region.
Olivia Turner, content specialist for Texans on Mission, confirmed disaster relief leadership is keeping up with developments regarding areas impacted by flooding and preparing to respond.
“TXM Disaster Relief leadership has been in constant communication with local officials and church partners in the affected areas. All our teams are ready to respond. We’re looking at Uvalde and multiple locations across the Hill Country. We are ready to move in as soon as possible,” Turner said.
Camps in the area—including Alto Frio Baptist Encampment—have reported no issues as of Thursday morning.
Two are dead as a result of massive flooding in the Hill Country area.
Areas affected by major thunderstorms and ongoing rainfall include the Guadalupe River, Sabinas Creek, Cypress Creek, Turtle Creek, Cherry Creek, Verde Creek, Joshua Creek, and several other creeks and drainages throughout Kerr and Kendall counties, according to KXAS-TV.
The National Weather Service reported the Guadalupe River rose to 32 feet in four hours. Some areas reported rain rates of two to four inches an hour, causing roadways and rain-saturated areas to be covered in several feet of water.
In July 2025, flash floods killed 104 people, including 28 children in Kerr County. Ten girls and a counselor from Camp Mystic were reported missing as a result.
Roads were washed out and area businesses were destroyed after more than 12 inches of rain fell within 12 hours.
