Kerr County

Search and rescue operations are ongoing in Texas following devastating floods that have resulted in at least 121 confirmed deaths statewide. In Kerr County alone, 161 people remain missing, with over 2,100 responders involved in the search efforts. Authorities have not formally declared the mission a recovery operation, but hope of finding survivors is diminishing as time passes.

Support services have been set up for affected families, including a disaster recovery center providing both material and emotional assistance. Meanwhile, scrutiny has increased regarding the effectiveness of emergency alert systems, with local officials facing questions about their response. Nearby communities are now testing new warning siren systems in response to the disaster.

More than 160 still missing from Texas floods, at least 121 dead

We have an update on the search and rescue effort in Central Texas. The devastating flooding is killed at least 121 people so far statewide. In Kerr County alone, 161 people still missing. Officials say more than 2100 responders are on the ground. They are aiding in the search. It is a methodical search which ensures that every area in an area to be searched is covered and searched and that no stone is left unturned. So let's get once again to CBS News reporter Karen who is. She's live from Kerrville, TX. Talk to us about what you learn more at today's news conference, Karen. Hey Reed, good to be with you. So this morning at the news conference, they of course provided an updated number on this death toll. The number is just one more than it was yesterday. There is now a total of 121 people dead across the state of Texas. Yesterday it was 120 and across the state there are still about 170 missing. It's really just such a staggering number because we're on day seven and while officials have not come out and outright called this a recovery mission hope is of course dwindling as the days go on. The last survivor was found on Friday about seven days ago, so you can only imagine as we're going on most of these deaths and people all these missing people since the 4th have not been found alive. It's just really. Devastating to think about what this total death toll may ultimately be. Yeah, you talked about the number of missing and I was just trying to get a visual in my head of how many that represents and I pictured 6 kindergarten classrooms full of people. That's the number of people missing at this hour really brings it home right? The recovery center we understand is now open. What more can you tell us about the services provided there for so many hurting people? Yeah, Reid. So FEMA is boots on the ground today. They're here with the Small Business Administration where they've opened this disaster recovery center. It's at a local church and they're offering this face to face help to survivors and to flood victims families. Not only physical things they might need, like food, bottled water, clothes, but also just any. Mental or emotional support. This is a community grieving after all. We also understand that they're not only grieving, but they're asking questions. There's a lot more scrutiny surrounding a early warning system. What do you know there? Yeah, there have definitely been calls and questions about what exactly happened with these emergency alerts. We aren't really getting direct answers from Kerr County officials. When we ask them about it, but we do know that in nearby Bandera today it's a town about 30 miles South of where we are here in Kerrville. They're going to be testing out their new warning siren system in just a few minutes here our team is on the ground there where they're going to get to see the siren on the water tower. It's a motor driven alarm. It's going to make some sort of noise and we're going to hear from the Bandera local leaders as well as hopefully we'll give you a recap of that once we know more read. Karen, who I thank you so much once again punctuating the mission of this broadcast your stories from your communities. Thank you so much for being there. Where so many people have lost so much.
