Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said on Wednesday that the county will look at the initial response to the flooding at a later time.
Volunteer firefighters requested that the county deploy an emergency alert system known as CodeRED in the early morning hours of Friday as the Guadalupe River rose. Residents told The Texas Newsroom they received alerts at different times. County officials have insisted that an emergency alert system doesn't exist.
"As with other significant events that our emergency services encounter, this incident will be reviewed," Leitha said. "You have my word. When if necessary, if improvements need to be made, improvements will be made. "
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has said the state will provide resources to fund alert systems currently used in other Texas communities.
Gov. Greg Abbott said flood assistance would be a priority in the upcoming special legislative session.
