The Community Foundation is directing the funds to vetted organizations providing rescue, relief and recovery efforts, as well as flood assistance. The Kerr County Flood Relief Fund announced last week that an initial $5 million in emergency grants to nonprofit organizations have been dispersed to support individuals and families, local businesses, first responders and crisis response.

FOX Corporation is continuing to encourage viewers to support the ongoing efforts, and extends the deepest gratitude to viewers, and to all the first responders who tirelessly serve their communities. 

President Donald Trump visited Texas on Friday and met with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to discuss relief and recovery efforts.

Among those killed were attendees at Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Kerr County located near the Guadalupe River.
