The Region 6 South Central Public Health Training Center extends our deepest condolences to the individuals and families impacted by the recent flash flooding in Central Texas and the Hill Country. The devastation caused by this disaster—particularly the tragic loss of life and displacement of residents—has deeply affected communities across the region.
In response to this ongoing crisis, the Austin American-Statesman has compiled guidance on how to best support those in need. Monetary donations remain the most effective form of assistance. Organizations such as the Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN) are working directly with impacted families by providing gift cards for essential needs like housing, groceries, and medical supplies. Additional local organizations, including the Central Texas Community Foundation and the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, have established targeted relief funds to support recovery efforts in affected counties.
Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR), an Austin-based nonprofit specializing in emergency response, has deployed swiftwater rescue teams, boats, drones and search dogs to aid in the search for the missing. The group was aiming to raise $100,000 to sustain its efforts. Donations can be made online.
We support the people of Central Texas
as they work to recover and restore their communities.
