Liberty County approves transport and donation of water, cots and supplies to flood-hit Kerr County
Summary
The Liberty County Commissioner's Court approved sending donated aid — including 33 pallets of water, hundreds of cots, masks and diapers — to Kerr County after flooding on 07/04/2025.
The Liberty County Commissioner's Court voted to approve acceptance, transportation and donation of aid and supplies to Kerr County in response to flooding that occurred on 07/04/2025.
Court members discussed logistics and the types of supplies available before approving the donation. Matthew (staff member) said the office of emergency management suggested the course of action and that the county should bring the matter to the court for formal approval. AJ (emergency/operations staff) described donated items available for transport, saying, “We had hundreds and hundreds of cots,” and that there were “33 pallets of water.” AJ also said thousands of masks and diapers were available for donation.
The court discussed using county equipment and staff to load and transport supplies; one speaker noted the county’s trailer and truck would be used and confirmed the forklift on site had been checked. The motion was made and the court approved the donation by voice vote; the court did not announce a numerical roll-call tally on the record.
Court members framed the action as a one-time, intercounty aid response; Matthew said this was in response to a declared disaster and would not be a recurring program. No formal budget appropriation or long-term commitment was discussed during the item. The court did not identify a specific delivery schedule during the public portion of the meeting. Ending: Court members thanked staff and volunteers who collected and staged the supplies and closed the item after the voice vote carried.
