As communities across Central Texas reel from the deadly floods that devastated Kerrville and surrounding Hill Country towns, Fox 29 Chief Meteorologist Alex Garcia is speaking out about what went wrong and what needs to change.

Authorities determined that three people are still missing from the floods, a sharp drop from the approximately 100 people authorities had previously said were unaccounted for.

The Texas legislature meets on Monday to focus on disaster relief after the deadly floods, but it's also considering President Trump's request to redraw the lines of Congressional districts.

The Senate panel consists of seven Republicans and two Democrats. It first meets in Austin next week, then in Kerrville on July 31.

The first bills related to revamping disaster preparedness in the aftermath of the deadly flooding have been filed.

Michael Kubik, Travis County: Sirens, such as the one in Comfort, Texas, would have helped. Not allowing variances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency flood maps would be nice, but I suspect insurers, lenders and developers might stymie that.

A special session of the Texas Legislature will address the deadly floods in Hill Country, but the fireworks will come from President Trump’s demand for a newly gerrymandered House map.

The groups also want lawmakers to examine land-use practices and consider ways to protect natural resources, which they say will in turn help protect lives.
