Flood damage report reveals 29 homes destroyed and 27 with major damage

The Williamson County Commissioners Court held a special session on July 11, 2025, to address the recent flooding impacts in the area. The meeting focused on the importance of flood insurance, the extent of property damage, and the response from FEMA.

During the session, officials emphasized the critical need for residents to obtain flood insurance, noting that many homes affected by flooding were not in designated flood plains. Bruce, an emergency management representative, reported that a total of 56 properties were significantly impacted, with 29 homes destroyed and 27 suffering major damage. He clarified that these figures represent homes that were damaged enough to displace residents.

The discussion also touched on the impact on local businesses, with Bruce stating that, to date, no businesses had been directly affected, except for some RV parks along the river that experienced severe damage.

FEMA's role in providing assistance to displaced residents was highlighted, with Bruce explaining that FEMA may offer various forms of temporary housing, including hotel vouchers and RVs. However, he cautioned that the specifics of FEMA's assistance would depend on the situation and eligibility of each individual affected.

The meeting concluded with a discussion on the estimated $37 million in public infrastructure damages, which includes issues related to waterlines in Georgetown. The court plans to continue monitoring the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
