Mayor Joe Herring read a proclamation recognizing Kerr Together as the designated long‑term recovery organization for Kerr County following severe storms and flooding that began July 13, 2026.
The proclamation cites a county and city disaster declaration and a state governor's declaration issued in mid-July, notes unresolved recovery from the July 2025 disaster, and designates the Kerr Together Disaster Relief Center at 98 Coronado Drive as a centralized location for partner organizations. The proclamation calls for the long-term recovery group to publish a long-term recovery plan coordinated with the Kerr County Emergency Management Plan and to operate in alignment with state and federal recovery frameworks to ensure transparency and accountability.
A Kerr Together representative told the council the organization was stood up after last year’s flood and emphasized ongoing needs, diminished volunteer capacity and the importance of multi-jurisdictional assistance to support recovery.
