## Resource

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared a major disaster in 28 counties after devastating storms and flooding, calling for federal aid as rivers like the Nueces continue to rise. Over 2,700 state personnel, 1,500+ vehicles, and aircraft are deployed for rescue and recovery. Tragically, two lives have been lost, and officials warn residents to stay off flooded roads and rising rivers for the next day or two.
