A United Cajun Navy commander leads flood recovery efforts in his hometown of Kerrville, Texas, where 121 people died in catastrophic flooding.

The United Cajun Navy and Mission Mules are providing emotional support and recovery efforts in Central Texas, nearly a week after deadly flash floods devastated the area, with the United Cajun Navy accepting no new volunteers for this mission but inviting support on their website and Mission Mules accepting donations.

In the wake of catastrophic flooding in Central Texas, the United Cajun Navy, a volunteer group largely made up of combat veterans, has joined search and recovery operations.

At least 27 campers and counselors at Camp Mystic perished in Friday's floods, with the total death toll in the floods now surpassing 100.

Kerr County first tried to secure $1 million for a flood warning system in 2017, but could not. Could such a system have prevented loss of life on July 4?

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

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.
