First Alert: WCK is en route to central Texas amid catastrophic flooding
World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is on our way to central Texas to support communities impacted by catastrophic flooding in Hill Country on Friday, July 4. Heavy rains in the region overnight peaked at 15 inches in some places and led to the flooding of the Guadalupe River. The National Weather Service reported that the river has reached the second-highest height on record—waters rose more than 26 feet in just 45 minutes. At least 13 people have lost their lives, and search and rescue efforts are underway to locate missing residents. The flooding is also impacting a number of children and staff stranded at local summer camps.
WCK Relief Team members are en route to assess the communities’ needs for food and water, and will determine if more support is needed.
