Dozens of emergency response teams from across the country are in Central Texas to help victims of the recent flooding.
Among them is Americares, which helps with health-related issues during disasters.
Mariel Fonteyn, the group’s director of emergency response, said that Americares has deployed a response team to Kerrville and are on the ground working with local partners to restore health services and deliver critical medical supplies.
“People are running from their homes, and they forget medicine. They forget those health needs that they have or their daily medicines they need to stay healthy and need to get those replaced as soon as possible.”
