With hundreds confirmed dead or still missing, questions remain about the local response to flood warnings. Meanwhile, lawmakers will weigh measures to mitigate future disasters.

The department shared on Facebook that Captain Tony Fernandez has died, calling him a "brother whose absence leaves a hole that can never be filled. He was with Ingram VFD for 15 years, the post says. It's unclear if Fernandez died as a result of the floods that overwhelmed Kerr County the morning of July Fourth.

Gov. Greg Abbott also directed lawmakers to tighten regulations on THC products, eliminate Texas’ high-stakes STAAR test and rein in local property tax increases during the legislative overtime, which begins July 21.

President Donald Trump met with victims' families and surveyed the damage of catastrophic floods that struck the state one week ago.

Kerr County officials say they are still focused mainly on the search for survivors with hundreds still missing and weren't yet examining how the emergency response unfolded.

"As the community begins to rebuild, we remain committed to standing beside them in the days and weeks to come."

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday said investigative committees in the House and Senate will look at the response to deadly flooding in Central Texas, but cautioned not to place blame on any singular source.

Kerrville Police Community Services Officer Jonathan Lamb gave a timeline of the deadly floods impacting the region in Texas and the response and evacuation efforts first responders took to save as many people as they could.

Flash floods last week in Texas caused the Guadalupe River to rise dramatically, reaching three stories high in just two hours
