As communities across Central Texas reel from the deadly floods that devastated Kerrville and surrounding Hill Country towns, Fox 29 Chief Meteorologist Alex Garcia is speaking out about what went wrong and what needs to change.

The Texas legislature meets on Monday to focus on disaster relief after the deadly floods, but it's also considering President Trump's request to redraw the lines of Congressional districts.

The first bills related to revamping disaster preparedness in the aftermath of the deadly flooding have been filed.

Authorities determined that three people are still missing from the floods, a sharp drop from the approximately 100 people authorities had previously said were unaccounted for.

Michael Kubik, Travis County: Sirens, such as the one in Comfort, Texas, would have helped. Not allowing variances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency flood maps would be nice, but I suspect insurers, lenders and developers might stymie that.

The groups also want lawmakers to examine land-use practices and consider ways to protect natural resources, which they say will in turn help protect lives.

As a devastating flash flood in Texas over the weekend has left at least 82 people dead, including 28 children, it's raising critical questions regarding emergency preparedness and federal response.

President Donald Trump approved a disaster declaration from Texas Governor Greg Abbott related to severe storms and flooding, according to a Sunday press release from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
