Summary

Texas is reeling from catastrophic flooding that’s claimed lives, submerged homes, and forced mass evacuations as rivers like the Guadalupe and Pedernales overflow. Emergency crews are racing to rescue stranded residents, while shelters open in Kerr and Uvalde to house displaced families. Pet owners are urgently seeking fosters and adopters in San Antonio amid a surge of animals affected by the disaster. Communities are rallying for support — donate to Rebuild Texas Fund or the Community Foundation of the Hill Country, or call the Disaster Distress Helpline for emotional aid. For insurance and recovery, file claims with your insurer first via the State of Texas Assessment Tool, and reach out to the Texas Department of Insurance for help navigating claims.
