Friend, our hearts are broken for the families who lost loved ones when extreme flooding swept through central Texas over the weekend – and for the communities that have been devastated by this harrowing disaster.
With forecasters warning of more rain, worsening conditions for response teams, we still don’t yet know the full extent of the damage and loss. But we do know that the need for emergency relief is already massive, and Americares is deploying a team to Texas. Your immediate support can help fuel our urgent response efforts.
Heavy rains caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly and overflow in the early hours of July 4.
News outlets are now reporting over 100 people were killed across multiple Texas counties, and first responders are still searching for missing persons.
Entire homes, vehicles and campgrounds were swept away in the floodwaters, leaving a path of destruction through central Texas.
As you read this, Americares is deploying an emergency response team to help restore access to health services and address the most urgent health needs in affected communities. But we rely on supporters like you in moments like this.
