Commissioners in Kerr County said the county is fully shifting into the recovery stage of emergency management more than two weeks after devastating flooding hit the Texas Hill Country.
Over the weekend, Texas and Kerrville officials reduced the number of missing in Kerr County from 97 people to just three.
Kerr County judge Rob Kelly explained: "Most of them were tourists who came into town that left and went back home and didn't report back that they were there. That's what a lot of that was. But the recovery is going to start with the debris."
Kelly said crews will take cadaver dogs over large debris piles one more time to triple check for any human remains.
Commissioners say debris cleanup efforts across the county could take anywhere from six to eight months.
