CENTRAL TEXAS FLOOD Emergency Response
July 4, 2025
In the aftermath of the deadly flash floods that devastated Central Texas over the July 4th weekend, ADRN is fully mobilized in the impacted counties supporting cleanup and recovery efforts alongside local churches and partners.
Your donation today will help tremendously as we provide immediate physical, emotional, and spiritual care to families and communities in Travis, Williamson, Burnet, Kerr, and Kendall counties. We are actively deploying volunteer cleanup crews, distributing emergency supplies, and providing survivor case intake and support through a centralized call center.
Please give generously to help bring HOPE into CRISIS. THANK YOU!
A catastrophic flash flood swept through Austin and Central Texas overnight into July 4, 2025, as powerful storms dumped 5 to 14 inches of rain across the region in just a few hours.
In Williamson County, floodwaters caused confirmed structural damage and isolated residential flooding, prompting local disaster response teams to mobilize. Thousands lost power as roadways were washed out and neighborhoods became inaccessible.
Further west, the Guadalupe River near Hunt and Kerrville surged from around 7 feet to nearly 30 feet, cresting at its second-highest level on record before floodwaters damaged monitoring systems. The flooding in Kerr County has led to at least six confirmed deaths, children reported missing from summer camps, and more than 100 water rescues, with a disaster declaration issued and the Texas National Guard activated.
The situation remains active across Central Texas, with rescue operations underway and communities reeling from the impact.
