As rescue efforts end, volunteers and retired responders reflect on the toll — and the hope — of bringing closure to families.
With more than 170 still missing, communities must reconcile how to pick up the pieces around a waterway that remains both a wellspring and a looming menace.
The organizations working together to help the flood victims said that 'no additional in-kind donations (clothing, food, supplies) are needed in Kerrville.' They said the best way to help is with monetary donations.

Plans to develop a flood monitoring system in the Texas county hit hardest by deadly floods were scheduled to begin only a few weeks later.
A retired nurse, her son, and a family friend say they were lucky to survive last week's flash floods in Texas that killed more than 100 people, including many summer campers.
