The Kerr County Flood Relief Fund supports relief and rebuilding efforts after the flood of July 4, 2025.

Kerr County, Texas, is currently in a local state of disaster, due to extreme, life-threatening flooding that occurred overnight from heavy rains that fell Thursday, July 3, and overnight into Friday, July 4.

Judge Rob Kelly signed a declaration of disaster that states the severe weather and flooding has caused widespread and severe damage, injury and loss of life and is an imminent threat of doing more of the same.

The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that there are multiple fatalities, but will not release any more details until a later time after next of kin are notified.

Emergency crews are very active across the county responding to calls and rescues.

Reports put the Guadalupe River cresting at 39 feet or more, surpassing the county’s second biggest flood in modern times in 1987.

Mayor Joe Herring, Jr. suggested that donations be made to the Community Foundation serving the Texas Hill Country.

The Community Foundation – a 501(c)(3) public charity serving the Texas Hill Country – will direct funds to vetted organizations providing rescue, relief, and recovery efforts as well as flood assistance. The Fund will support the communities of Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point, and Comfort. All donations are tax-deductible, and you will receive a receipt for your gift.

Grants from the Fund will support nonprofit organizations, first responder agencies, and local governments actively involved in response, relief, and recovery efforts. While we are unable to award grants directly to individuals or families – or to fund repairs to private property or replace personal belongings – we are committed to channeling resources to the trusted organizations working tirelessly to help our neighbors in need. Together, we can make a meaningful difference during this challenging time.
