Approval Process Reportedly Slowed CodeRED Flood Alert In Kerr County

Kerr County officials are confirming that the approval process led to a delay in issuing the CodeRED alert during last week’s flash flood.

Sheriff Larry Leitha acknowledges that there are some questions to be answered, but he says right now his focus is on finding the people who are still missing.

In a Wednesday news conference, Leitha said questions about response to the deadly flood will be answered in an after-action report. He didn’t give a timeline on when that may happen.
