AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ADRN Flood Response Operations in Travis, Williamson, and Kerr Counties
Crisis Cleanup Now Open for Affected Families; Volunteers and Supplies Mobilizing Across Central Texas

Date of Incident: July 4, 2025
Current Phase: Mobilizing
ADRN Phase of Activation:
Mobilizing– Volunteer/staff deployed
Response in progress (cleanup, call center, distributions)

As ADRN continues to respond across Central Texas, our thoughts remain with families in New Mexico and North Carolina who are grieving the loss of loved ones from recent disasters. Here at home, our teams have officially transitioned from the monitoring phase to full mobilization in Travis, Williamson, and Kerr counties, where floodwaters have claimed lives and left entire communities in crisis.

Search and rescue operations have concluded in Kerr County, and ADRN teams are now supporting the cleanup and recovery efforts alongside local churches and partners. A formal request from a Kerrville state representative led to the rapid deployment of ADRN volunteers and resources across multiple neighborhoods beginning Friday, July 11.

In Travis and Williamson Counties, ADRN received clearance from the Texas Department of Emergency Management TDEM on the night of Thursday, July 10, to begin relief coordination and volunteer activation.

A Resource Center is now confirmed for launch at Round Mountain Baptist Church, serving as the official hub for survivor assistance in the Sandy Creek area.
“We’re witnessing a groundswell of compassion,” said Dwight Bailey, Executive Director of ADRN. “People are stepping up for Texans from all over the nation.. We are honored to help coordinate this effort to bring hope and healing where it’s needed most.”

Coordinated Multi-County Effort
ADRN’s efforts provide critical relief across Williamson, Travis, and Kerr counties, including:
● Volunteer cleanup and muck-out
● Distribution of hygiene kits, gift cards, and food
● Earthmoving and debris removal operations
● Emotional and spiritual care from trained volunteers with extensive training in individual crisis intervention
● Flyer distribution and home visits to identify remaining unmet needs (Williamson County)
● Resource and recovery coordination with state and local agencies
