As communities across Central Texas reel from the deadly floods that devastated Kerrville and surrounding Hill Country towns, Fox 29 Chief Meteorologist Alex Garcia is speaking out about what went wrong and what needs to change.

The first bills related to revamping disaster preparedness in the aftermath of the deadly flooding have been filed.

The Texas legislature meets on Monday to focus on disaster relief after the deadly floods, but it's also considering President Trump's request to redraw the lines of Congressional districts.

Michael Kubik, Travis County: Sirens, such as the one in Comfort, Texas, would have helped. Not allowing variances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency flood maps would be nice, but I suspect insurers, lenders and developers might stymie that.

The groups also want lawmakers to examine land-use practices and consider ways to protect natural resources, which they say will in turn help protect lives.

A large percentage of people still unaccounted for were probably visiting the area, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said.

A special session of the Texas Legislature will address the deadly floods in Hill Country, but the fireworks will come from President Trump’s demand for a newly gerrymandered House map.
