Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly has signed a local disaster declaration, according to the county’s Facebook page. The declaration activates the county’s emergency management plan.
Kelly also sent a letter to Gov. Greg Abbott requesting further assistance.
“The impact of this threat has damaged local roads and sewer systems as well as flooded several homes, schools, and structures,” Kelly said. “I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that an effective response is beyond the capability of Kerr County to control.”
Kelly asked Abbott to declare a state of emergency for the county.
