KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Over the last decade, an array of Texas state and local agencies missed opportunities to fund a flood warning system intended to avert a disaster like the one that killed dozens of young campers and scores of others in Kerr County on the Fourth of July.

Kerrville city employees Rosa Ledesma and Alex Benitez talk with CNN’s Pamela Brown about how they received the call about the Texas flooding and jumped into action to save people.

Kerrville residents are grappling with widespread damage to homes, cars and belongings after recent flooding. Many are turning to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for financial help.

The governor said Tuesday that the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place before the July 4 floods.

Sunday is a day of prayer across Texas. But as many filed into churches, first responders and volunteers filed into Kerr County, holding out up in their search and rescue efforts.

Michael Abner said he was awakened at 5 a.m. on the Fourth of July by the owner of an RV park in Kerrville, Texas, where he was staying as floodwater began reaching his RV.

For those who lost their eyewear due to the flooding, two locations are offering assistance to simplify the replacement process.

Robert Earl Keen has a personal connection to Kerrville, TX, the site of massive flooding on July 4 that authorities say resulted in the deaths of 111 people, with nearly 170 still unaccounted for at press time.

At least 119 people have been found dead in nearly a week since heavy rainfall overwhelmed the river and flowed through homes and youth camps in the early morning hours of July 4. Ninety-five of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least three dozen children.
