Kerr County authorities issued a new Guadalupe River evacuation notice and suspended search operations as more heavy rains inundated the area early

Flash flooding continues to plague Kerr County as reports of evacuations are surfacing amid the latest flash flood warning. Residents in parts of Kerr County report they are being asked to evacuate and move to higher ground as additional rain falls in the already saturated areas.

FEMA records obtained by NBC 5 Investigates show that Kerr County officials did not use FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert & Warning System to send warnings with safety instructions to all mobile phones in the affected area during critical hours as the flooding began on July 4.
