A Kerrville-area river authority executed a contract for a flood warning system that would have been used to help with emergency response, local officials said.
At least 119 people have been found dead in nearly a week since heavy rainfall overwhelmed the river and flowed through homes and youth camps in the early morning hours of July 4. Ninety-five of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least three dozen children.
As of the end of the day Tuesday, there were still five Camp Mystic campers and one counselor unaccounted for, with identification pending for 19 adults and seven children. Another child not associated with the camp is also missing.
