Kerr County, Texas, lacked a “last mile” warning mechanism that could have saved residents before the deadly floods devastated the area, including a children’s summer camp, killing more than 80 people.

Kerr County officials hold a briefing on the devastating flooding in their area. 75 people were killed in the area, including 48 adults and 27. 10 Camp Mystic campers and 1 counselor are unaccounted for.

For years, local leaders in Kerr County, Texas, talked about getting a flood warning system that didn't rely on cellphones — but the project was never funded.
