Why Texas Is So Vulnerable to Climate Disasters
Texas is reeling from floods that have killed more than 100 people and caused an estimated $18 billion to $22 billion in damage. It's the latest in a string of climate disasters to hit the state hard, including 2017's Hurricane Harvey, which left Houston underwater, the 2021 deep freeze that knocked out the state's power grid, and multiple severe weather outbreaks last year that caused billions of dollars in losses.

How to Help Those Impacted by the Texas Floods Right Now
Braving the heat with donation bags in hand and shirts that read 'San Antonio loves Kerr County,' more than a thousand locals packed a downtown bar Wednesday night for a joint run hosted by several of the city's run clubs, raising so much money for their Hill Country neighbors that one organizer quipped, San Antonio 'broke Cash App" in their eagerness to help. The charity run raised more than $14,000 for the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and filled several trucks full of supplies. This is just one example of how Texans are determined to rally to support for Kerr County, a Hill Country region of 56,000 residents hit by devastating flash floods on Independence Day. Home to towns like Kerrville, Comfort, and Ingram, Kerr County has long been an escape for Texans seeking a slice of nature away from the big cities of Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas, with activities like tubing on the Guadalupe River. Tragically, the river many saw as a place of peace and community became the source of devastation in the early hours of July 4. Deadly flash floods swept through Kerr County before dawn on July 4, as the Guadalupe River surged to up to 35 feet, per USGS—more than double its flood stage—killing more than 100 people, including dozens of children, according to county officials. Among the hardest-hit areas was Camp Mystic, a historic summer camp for young girls. At least 161 people remain unaccounted for as of July 10, according to CBS News , as search and rescue efforts continue at the time of publication.

According to officials, cash donations are the most necessary at the time of publishing, with the following organizations giving 100 percent of donations to relief efforts. Other organizations in need of monetary donations: Those able to donate blood can sign up via the American Red Cross or the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center. Want to volunteer? The best way to assess current volunteer needs is by calling the Salvation Army Kerrville at 830-465-4797. Some Texas-based organizations have contributed money, boots on the ground, and hot meals. H-E-B, the Lone Star State's largest grocery chain that was founded in Kerrville in 1905, donated $5 million to their hometown, in addition to other means of support. "For 120 years, the Butt family has proudly called Kerrville home,' said Howard Butt III, H-E-B CEO, in an official statement. 'Our hearts ache for the children, families, and communities facing tremendous loss throughout Texas in the wake of these floods." James Avery, also founded in Kerrville in 1954, is donating 100 percent of its sales from the "Deep in the Heart of Texas" charm to flood relief efforts until Aug. 4. For every order placed to a Texas merchant, Doordash is donating $1 to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country's Kerr County Flood Relief Fund up to $250,000 for direct resources to organizations making a difference on the ground. Kendra Scott, a jewelry company founded in Austin, Texas, is donating 100 percent of its proceeds from the Everlyne bracelet collection to support the ongoing efforts in Texas Hill Country.
