What damage did the Texas Floods Cause?

On July 4, 2025, a stalled storm system fueled by moisture from Tropical Storm Barry unleashed torrential rains across Central Texas. This triggered catastrophic flash flooding along the Guadalupe River, which saw waters rapidly rise over twenty feet in the middle of the night, catching thousands of residents and vacationing families off guard. The flooding claimed over 130 lives and destroyed hundreds of structures throughout Central Texas.

How is CORE supporting those impacted by the 2025 Texas floods?

CORE’s assessment team rapidly mobilized to conduct community check-ins and coordinate with partners in both Kerr and Tom Green Counties, including the San Angelo COAD, local fire departments, and grassroots leaders. Our on-the-ground staff are focused on identifying unmet needs and responding where support is lacking.

We found that support for predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods in San Angelo, Tom Green County, has been critically limited. CORE’s emergency response staff is providing muck and gut cleanup operations in San Angelo, with a focus on low-income, rural, and underserved communities. Looking forward, our teams will provide:

Mucking and gutting flood-damaged homes
Removal of hazardous materials to reduce health risks
Debris sorting, where possible

Meet Alma

CORE’s assessment team met Alma, whose 73-year-old mother, Maria, and nephew narrowly escaped the floods. Her mom awoke to a floating nightstand in the wee hours. They tried to quickly escape, but the waters rose so rapidly they had to cling to a fence until fast-acting neighbors and rescue teams saved them. Alma is so grateful for her family’s safety and now focused on helping her mother get back to the only home she knows.

Our teams began mucking and gutting Maria’s home while continuing to assess the neighborhoods in the surrounding flood zone. We’ll continue to work with local authorities to determine how we can best plug in to fill gaps and support the most vulnerable families with critical resources.

CORE remains committed to equity in disaster response. With your continued support, we can ensure that no community is left behind in the recovery. Thank you for standing with us.
