Most summers, Kerrville, Texas, draws crowds for its July 4 celebration. This year, the streets are filled with emergency responders.

Kerrville residents are grappling with widespread damage to homes, cars and belongings after recent flooding. Many are turning to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for financial help.

The governor said Tuesday that the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place before the July 4 floods. On Wednesday evening, the death toll rose to 120.

Kerrville city employees Rosa Ledesma and Alex Benitez talk with CNN’s Pamela Brown about how they received the call about the Texas flooding and jumped into action to save people.

Many Texans are still searching for loved ones and answers following the catastrophic flooding event over the weekend. Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring, Jr. joins Katy Tur to share how his community will “come up with a plan” to prevent this kind of event from happening again.

State Rep. Wes Virdell, whose district includes Kerr County, voted against House Bill 13 earlier this year. The bill would have funded a statewide rural alert system. But after spending the weekend assisting in disaster zones caused by the floods, the state rep voiced a change of heart, per the Texas Tribune .
