US EditionTrump to visit Texas flood site amid questions about disaster response
TEXAS HILL COUNTRY, KERR COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 11 – President Trump toured the Texas Hill Country flood zone amid questions over federal and state response effectiveness after floods killed at least 120 and left 160 missing, officials said.
- On July 11, 2025, the former U.S. president and his wife traveled to Kerrville, Texas, to assess the destruction caused by flash floods that started on July 4 and resulted in at least 120 fatalities.
- The flooding resulted from torrential rains causing the Guadalupe River to rise from about one foot to 34 feet rapidly, while questions arose about the adequacy of early warning systems and the government response.
- Trump toured flooded areas, met with local officials, first responders, and victims' families, and acknowledged the disaster as a once-in-200-years event while praising emergency efforts under difficult conditions.
- Over 160 individuals are still unaccounted for, including at least 36 children from Camp Mystic; meanwhile, Governor Abbott expanded the major disaster declaration to cover eight more counties, thereby qualifying those areas for federal financial support.
- The event sparked renewed discussion about FEMA’s responsibilities amid criticism of recent staff reductions and new policies mandating expense approvals, while the Texas legislature scheduled a special session aimed at examining the flood’s impact and allocating disaster relief funds.
