Kerr County commissioners discussed ongoing search and rescue efforts Monday in their first official meeting since catastrophic flooding killed more than 100 people in the county over the July 4 weekend.

The joint House and Senate committee will first meet in Austin next week, then in Kerrville on July 31 to hear from Hill Country residents about their concerns.

County officials did not issue a locally targeted emergency alert to warn people in town of the rapidly rising waters until two days after the deadly flood, according to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) data.
