00:00I want to thank everybody for gathering with us here today, and we are especially pleased
00:29to have with us today Secretary Kristi Noem from the Department of Homeland Security who
00:35will share with you a lot of information herself.
00:40Before I do pass the mic to her, there are several things that I want to announce as
00:46well as some things to share.
00:49First, what I have observed in this community over the past 24 hours is what I call quintessential
00:58Texas.
00:59When Texans face a challenge, we come together, we unite, and that's exactly what's happened
01:06over the past 24 to 48 hours in this community.
01:11Nothing more than extraordinary devastation, and the worst thing that could have happened
01:18to this community fell upon it.
01:21They could have fallen apart.
01:22They could have fought against each other.
01:24But instead, they understand the importance of unity.
01:27That's what Texans do.
01:29That's what we will continue to do.
01:31Along those lines, something else to double down on what I said last night.
01:37We will be relentless in going after and ensuring that we locate every single person who's been
01:49a victim of this flooding event.
01:52We're not going to stop today or tomorrow.
01:55We will stop when the job is completed.
01:58Between now and whenever that day arrives when the job is completed, this is a 24-7 operation,
02:05day and night, because we know that we are looking for Texans and Americans, and we put them
02:12as our top priority.
02:14We will find every one of them.
02:17Additionally, I want to let you know that overnight, there was an increase in storm damage and rainfall
02:30and flooding in other regions of the state of Texas that were in addition to the ones that were in the
02:37disaster declaration that I made yesterday.
02:40What I'm going to sign today is an expanded disaster declaration that adds the following counties
02:49to what I signed yesterday.
02:51This disaster declaration includes Bexar County, Burnett, Caldwell, Guadalupe, Travis, and Williamson counties.
03:10We will continue to add counties as needed as conditions either worsen or improve in counties
03:21across the state of Texas.
03:22We will ensure that every asset and resource the state has is going to be made available
03:26to every county that's the subject of this disaster declaration.
03:32Also I've had the opportunity to visit not just with Secretary Noem but other officials
03:38in the Trump administration, and we know that President Trump, he loves Texas for one.
03:47He's deeply concerned about all the families who have been affected, but also knows about
03:53the magnitude of the devastation that we're suffering.
03:57And so what I'm about to sign now is going to be the first step in a process.
04:04This document is a request for a federal disaster declaration coming from the governor to seek
04:11the immediate and ongoing help of the federal government.
04:21I want to express my gratitude in advance to President Trump for his entire administration
04:27for their devotion to the state of Texas.
04:30He always tells me about his love for the people of the state of Texas, his deep concern for
04:36them, and I know that he's feeling that now as much as he ever has.
04:41And there's no better way to show that than the fact that he wanted to ensure that he and
04:48his entire administration was represented here today by Secretary Kristi Noem, to whom I would
04:53like to turn things over at this time.
04:55Secretary Kristi Noem, thank you.
04:57Thank you, everyone, for being here today.
05:00And I want to thank Governor Abbott for his leadership and know that President Trump is absolutely
05:07heartbroken by what has happened here in Texas, and the loss of life is absolutely devastating
05:12to him and Melania.
05:14This morning I talked with him several times, and he wanted to make sure that all of you know
05:18how much he loves Texas, how much he's grieving for your families that have lost someone and
05:24the beautiful children that we're still looking for and hoping to return to their families.
05:28And that he is absolutely committed to using all the resources of the federal government
05:33to help unify families, rescue all those that we're still missing, and return those who
05:37maybe we will recover back to their families as soon as possible.
05:43And that we will be here walking alongside each other and helping throughout this entire
05:48crisis.
05:49And know that I'm extremely grateful as well for the leadership of Nim Kidd, who's a fantastic
05:55emergency operations manager and has been well-known throughout this country for leading through
06:01such a time as this.
06:03And this tragic situation is something that is unprecedented.
06:06We recognize that at the federal level.
06:08We also recognize that when something like this happens to a community, happens to a state,
06:14that the best responders are those locally because it's your family members, it's your
06:18community members that are being impacted, and you can respond quickly.
06:23And the role of the state is to run and manage that emergency, but the federal government needs
06:28to be here for the support and extra resources on the ground as well.
06:32And that is what we are doing and what President Trump has dedicated to continue to do.
06:37I've visited with the president already about this federal disaster declaration that the
06:42governor was going to sign here this morning and he has indicated that he will honor that
06:46and that he will accept that.
06:48So that response and that relief will be coming.
06:51And we also have had assets here on the ground since the beginning of this crisis started, since
06:58this weather event did start.
07:01And even before it came we were alerted.
07:03We did have Coast Guard assets here that were helping to rescue people.
07:08We're thankful for the airframe that showed up and those Coasties that were here walking
07:12alongside our DPS and the emergency responders that were here, the Texas assets that were deployed
07:20already and that coordination was seamless and I appreciate them for putting that request
07:24in right away.
07:25We also had our BORTAC team from Customs and Border Protection out here helping with rescues.
07:30They are a specialized, trained force to come in in these types of situations and bring
07:36their skills, skill set to bear that is a resource that's incredibly important to the Department
07:42of Homeland Security but also in these types of situations when we need emergency management
07:47response.
07:48We also did have a CBP advisory interdiction specialist here that was helping with some coordination of
07:55air assets that has been present.
07:57And then we are looking at the other entities that are under the Department, what can be
08:02utilized and of course FEMA is standing at an enhanced level right now which means that
08:07they are plugged in to the State Operations Center.
08:11We are engaged and then as this response goes forward that their role will continue to be
08:16filled as it always is in these situations and will be timely and responsive as to what the
08:20Governor requests and what is needed here on the ground.
08:24I do know that the State of Texas is amazing in how it responds to disasters.
08:32Not every state is like that.
08:35Many states do not do what the people of Texas do and you are an example to the nation of getting
08:42through these difficult times but also know that you are not alone.
08:45That you have the entire country's hearts and are with you and are walking alongside you and
08:51at the Department we will continue to bring more resources.
08:55We just at the request of a previous conversation less than an hour ago in visiting with him and
09:00with the Governor requested more fixed wing aircraft from Coast Guard to come and help us.
09:06Making sure that we are going out and locating individuals as fast as possible that we know are still
09:10missing and that we also will send more airframe as far as helicopters that have the ability to come in
09:16and some will be equipped and the fixed wings with thermals so they can continue to work all night long.
09:21Some of the assets that other agencies may offer don't have that kind of equipment but the Coast Guard does have it.
09:27And so that will be deployed so that the search and rescue efforts don't stop even when it does get dark at night.
09:32We'll continue to stay engaged and I'll be here.
09:35I'm going to go up to the camp, Mystic, and I'm going to go around town and spend some time here today
09:41and make sure that when I am calling and talking to the President throughout the day that he has timely information
09:48that the requests that are coming here from the leadership on the ground are met immediately
09:53and that we can take care of these families and take care of these folks right away.
09:57We do know the number one priority now is people, is making sure we're finding people as fast as possible
10:05and we're returning them to their families.
10:07And then also, you know, throughout the process we'll get into what damage was done to public infrastructure,
10:12what may have been done to, I know we have 1,800 people that are still without power.
10:16What I understand is people still have water but we do have damage to bridges and to roads.
10:22Thankfully dams held, but all of that is an assessment that we'll continue to work with you on
10:27to make sure that you recover as quickly as possible.
10:29So again, thank you all for being strong and being an example for people.
10:37Someone told me a long time ago, over 30 years ago, that to never get angry on behalf of yourself,
10:46get angry on behalf of other people.
10:48To always go out and get up every day and go work for other people and help them.
10:52And so I know many of you that are out there responding and helping your neighbors had losses too.
10:57You're hurting because you're grieving somebody that may have been lost.
11:01We were created to serve people.
11:04God created us to serve each other and now is a wonderful time to go find somebody you can help.
11:10somebody that you can take care of and get them through this process.
11:14And that will make us stronger and better into the future.
11:17So our prayers are with you.
11:19President Trump wants you to know that he and Melania are praying for you and love you.
11:23And with that, I'll turn it back over to the governor.
11:26Sure.
11:27Well, thank you very much.
11:28Thank you so much for being here.
11:29Thank you for the assets and resources you and the Trump administration are providing.
11:33One thing that secretary no mentioned was the fact that recoveries and rescues are being made.
11:40And what has happened over the past 36 hours is really amazing.
11:44When you look at what the local officials have done working in collaboration with multiple state agencies as well as their federal partners.
11:52In 36 hours, they have rescued or recovered more than 850 people, some clinging to trees to save their lives, others in other precarious situations.
12:07It's just sheer heroism the way that we've seen our first responders rescue so many people.
12:15And now I would like to turn things over to Senator John Cornyn.
12:19My thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem for responding so quickly to Governor Abbott's request for a federal disaster declaration.
12:30And particularly, Madam Secretary, thank you for being here in person.
12:34This is really important and I think sends a very important message.
12:39Unfortunately, I've been to a number of disasters over the years across the state of Texas, as has the governor.
12:48And none of these get any easier.
12:51But I have to tell you, I remain incredibly impressed with Governor Abbott's leadership.
12:57And the incredible work that the Texas Department of Emergency Management under the leadership of NEM KID do.
13:04They are literally the best in the nation.
13:07And what Secretary Noem said about other states not responding as well is true.
13:15It's something we should be very proud of and grateful for, particularly at a time like this.
13:20And then there are the men and women who are standing behind us here who have been doing the work on the ground, not waiting for the federal government to show up.
13:30They've been getting the work done, as the governor pointed out.
13:33And we are all together, we are praying for those who have lost loved ones and are grieving.
13:44We are celebrating with those who have been reacquainted with and rejoined with their family members.
13:53And, you know, a few years ago, the governor will remember this up in West Texas after a terrible disaster.
14:01A county commissioner there said something to me that I think is appropriate at a time like this.
14:07He said, being from Texas is not just about where you're from, it's who your family is.
14:16And so when things like this happen, we come together as a family, as Texans, in a way that I'm very proud of.
14:24But it's very important because this is who our family is and we owe it to them.
14:29And I take the governor at his word that he and his team will be relentless in supporting all of the efforts at the local and the federal level until every last person is accounted for and those families are reunited with their loved ones.
14:50But, Governor, thank you again for your leadership, Secretary Noem.
14:53It means a lot to us for you to be here.
14:56And we appreciate Governor Abbott and Chief Kidd, but we appreciate President Trump and you responding so quickly to the governor's request for disaster declaration.
15:08Thank you very much.
15:10And now Congressman Chip Roy.
15:13Thank you, Governor.
15:15Thanks, all of you, for being here.
15:17You know, before I was crazy enough to run for Congress, my family and I started a tradition of coming down to Kerrville for 4th of July.
15:25And we've been coming here every summer since my kids were little.
15:28They're now 14 and 15 to see Robert Earl and whoever else was playing.
15:32And pictures have been popping up on my phone, the ones that, you know, kick on the anniversary of different shows, like a bunch of different shows over the last decade.
15:41So, it hits home.
15:43It really does.
15:44It hits personally for those of us for whom this is our community, our home.
15:48My family lives in Hays County, but we spent a lot of time in Kerr.
15:52And I can't say enough about the local leadership and what they've been doing in the face of this disaster.
16:01Your city manager has done an extraordinary job.
16:04Your sheriff has done an extraordinary job.
16:06I could go down the list of everybody and I'll leave somebody out.
16:09But I can't say enough about what they've done and then I can't say enough about the governor and about NIM and about the leadership that has come from the state and from DPS and from TDEM to get this done and to do what we're in the process of still doing to react to this unfortunate circumstance.
16:29It's been professional and it's been extremely well done.
16:32And I have to say the secretary yesterday, I've reached out to her office.
16:37I think it might be 15 minutes later that I got a call from the secretary immediately responding to requests.
16:43I talked to NIM about the need for Army Corps support and some other stuff, immediately talked to the secretary about it.
16:50The collaboration, the teamwork, local, state, and federal, I cannot overstate the extent to which everybody set aside turfs or any of those kinds of things to deliver for the people of Texas.
17:01Now, we're far from having finished the job.
17:04We're all here knowing that we still have work to do.
17:07We're still prayerful.
17:08We're still hopeful.
17:09Obviously, there's a lot here that we're dealing with, but I'm deeply appreciative for that coordination.
17:15And the last point that I'll just make is, you know, and I've said this a little bit earlier this morning, there's going to be a lot of finger pointing and a lot of second guessing and Monday morning quarterbacking.
17:25And I just want to pick up on what I think the governor said about 850 something individuals that were moved quickly in this circumstance and in a once in a century flood where you get 12, 14 inches, where you get a 26 to 30 foot increase in water in the course of an hour and a half at four to six o'clock in the morning on a holiday.
17:44And that that's what we're dealing with in these circumstances and where those camps are.
17:48There's a lot of people saying why and how and I understand that.
17:50And I understand why parents would be asking those questions and all of the media.
17:54But where we are right now in terms of what we've done to be able to protect people, move them, get them out of the camps and the heroic efforts of people that worked in those camps, directors of the camps, people who own the camps, who not just risked their lives, gave their lives to try to go save the lives of those kids.
18:12That's who they are as Texans.
18:14And I'm so proud of that.
18:15And I'm so proud of the work that everyone's done to do that.
18:18And now we just got to finish the job and be with the people and importantly, pray for the families who have lost their loved ones.
18:27Now, Carr County Judge Kelly.
18:30Yes.
18:31I think I'm the only one at this table that lives on the Guadalupe River.
18:37And our properties were devastated.
18:42And I barely got home yesterday.
18:45I started my morning ushering in a crew with a skid steer and two dump trailers, three trucks, nine men to start trying to rebuild what went down the river.
19:04I then had the opportunity to come here where I was asked to go over to the funeral home.
19:10I had issues over there.
19:13I am a 50-year lawyer and a mediator and arbitrator and we had some issues that needed detention.
19:19And I got to see firsthand many of the body bags.
19:29And it breaks my heart.
19:32And coming back from that, we had an opportunity to go on a helicopter ride with the Senator and the Mayor and inspect the devastation.
19:44We flew all the way up the South Fork, all the way to Criders.
19:49And you can see what's happened.
19:52And it's going to be a long time before we're ever going to be able to clean it up, much less rebuild it.
19:59But there's nothing on the other side of Criders.
20:04It's just hill country.
20:07And we didn't know.
20:08We know we get rains.
20:09We know the river rises.
20:11But nobody saw this coming.
20:14And what I really have to report to you is it was a godsend to be able to get out of the helicopter, walk back into this building,
20:27and sit down with these people and cooperate arm in arm, hand in hand, to do the best we can to work the process.
20:40The rescue has gone as well as can be expected.
20:44It's getting time now for the recovery.
20:47And that's going to be a long, toilsome task for us.
20:52And what I would reiterate that I've heard others say is as long as we stay together, we'll get this done.
21:01Thank you very much.
21:02And now, Mayor Herring.
21:05I want to start off by saying thank you.
21:08On behalf of the city of Kerrville and our 25,000 citizens, I want to say thank you to the federal government, the state government, county government.
21:19You know, as I look around the room in the emergency operations center, I don't see different agencies from the state, the federal, the county.
21:31I see one team working together.
21:36It's important for our community to know it's one team.
21:43We will rescue those in peril.
21:46And we will find those who are lost.
21:49I continue to ask everyone who sees this day to pray for Kerrville and Kerr County.
22:01We need your prayers.
22:03And thank God we have the help of the federal government and the state government in this horrible, horrible crisis.
22:13Thank God for our country.
22:16And thank God for all the help we are receiving today.
22:23Now, TDM Chief Nimkid.
22:26Thank you, Governor.
22:28My heart breaks.
22:29It's broken for those families that have lost their loved ones.
22:32And that fuels our drive to continue to search for them.
22:35And we will not stop until we find every one of them.
22:38I have to start by thanking our local first responders.
22:43Those men and women on the streets live here.
22:45They work here.
22:46Their families are here.
22:47Yet they got on the truck and they got in the car and they got in the ambulance and they went out and they did everything they could to save their neighbors.
22:52You also have volunteers all over this county that do the job for free, that were out there working to save lives, many times putting their own lives and their property at risk.
23:02Our state partners have been phenomenal.
23:04Nothing short.
23:05Madam Secretary, your federal team has been nothing short of remarkable and impressive.
23:10I'm grateful for that.
23:12Every time I've reached out to you or your staff or Acting Administrator Richardson or the Acting Regional Administrator, I don't think the phone has rang twice before you've answered.
23:21Thank you for doing that.
23:22Thank you for being here with us.
23:23Life safety continues to be our number one priority.
23:26We will continue the search until all those that are missing are found.
23:29We will start cleanup and property damage assessments as soon as possible.
23:33Our teams from FEMA have been in the State Emergency Operations Center since before we started operating on this event.
23:40They are exactly where we need them to be doing exactly what we need them to be doing.
23:44Our Border Patrol partners have been here and I'm so grateful for the U.S. Coast Guard.
23:49Acting Administrator Richardson and Regional Administrator Stoller have been great partners to us.
23:53We continue to work forward.
23:54And if I may, I'd just like to run across a few more of the numbers.
23:571,331 state additional personnel that have been added to this response on top of all your local responders.
24:05Over 906 state assets here.
24:08That's 125 from our agency.
24:10172 from the Urban Search and Rescue Team at Texas Task Force 1.
24:14Over 160 from the Department of Public Safety.
24:17Over 250 from the Texas Department of Transportation.
24:20170 from the Texas Wildlife Department.
24:23Military Department 136.
24:25And the ANM Forest Service here with 115.
24:27And almost 190 people on the health and medical side.
24:30Governor, our team stands ready to assist this community.
24:33Thank you very much.
24:34One last thing.
24:35And that is, there is a word that's been the most common word that's been spoken over the past 36 hours.
24:42And that is the word prayer.
24:44It's been repeated by the people who are watching this as we speak right now.
24:49It's repeated often on social media, through phone calls, through texts.
24:56And those prayers are answered in so many ways.
25:01Answered by that child who was being swept down the river and happened to find a tree to cling on and was able to continue with uncommon strength to be able to remain clinging to that tree until a helicopter was able to descend upon her and lift her out of that harrowing situation.
25:20It could have been the reason why water stopped rising into a home or cabin or something that would have caused an entire building to float away.
25:30It could be the reason why there have been so many people have been located wherever they were down the river basin.
25:37It could be something that prevented somebody from getting into the water to begin with.
25:41All we know is that prayer does work.
25:46Your prayers have made a difference.
25:49We ask for continued prayers as we continue our efforts to locate everybody who's been affected by this.
25:58And pray so much for the families who have lost a loved one who are going through challenging times that they never imagined on the 3rd of July that something like this would happen.
26:12Prayer matters.
26:13And we thank God Almighty, God has blessed Texas.
26:17And will continue to bless our great state.
26:20We'll take a few questions.
26:22How's the numbers change?
26:2327 dead and 27 missing from Cam, Missy.
26:26Sure.
26:27What I can tell you is there's still 27 missing.
26:30We have recovered some additional bodies at this time.
26:33We're trying to identify at this time.
26:36What I can tell you in update.
26:37There's 32 deceased.
26:3918 of those are adults and 14 are children.
26:42Five of the adults remain unidentified
26:46and three children remain unidentified. We're still working on that this time.
26:50As I said earlier this morning, the numbers are going to continue to change.
26:54They're going to continue to change till we're done. It's been a very
26:58good day as far as being out there and being able to do some things and we've got a lot done.
27:03Chief, earlier on there was a lot of conflicted information
27:06about the search, about the number of fatalities, the missing human.
27:11A lot of families and parents were rightfully concerned and more importantly confused about all this information.
27:17We just heard the judge refer to this as a shift from rescue to recovery.
27:23Can you clarify what that means? Are we talking about these missing people no longer believed to be alive?
27:31You'll need the judge to answer that piece.
27:34Our state assets and local partners are continuing to search for live victims.
27:39Is there any indication that there are still people out there alive? Any evidence?
27:44History would tell us that after a certain time period those chances diminish
27:49and we can talk about all of the numbers and the metrics on that.
27:52Our hope and prayer is that there are still people alive that are out there
27:55and we are still actively searching for them and we will continue.
27:58And listen, that will turn into recovery at some point and none of us want to put a time period on that right now.
28:04But when you talk to the men and women that are up there in those helicopters and out in those boats and walking the ground,
28:08they're looking for live people right now and doing everything and they can to continue the search as fast as possible.
28:13And just just a moment to clarify because we want to be very clear with especially families and parents that are watching this.
28:19What makes you feel like this has gone from rescue to potential recovery?
28:25Because there is a difference.
28:26We will eventually get to the recovery.
28:28Two more questions.
28:30We're going to do more than two more questions.
28:33I want to say this.
28:35My instruction to every state agency involved in this is to assume everybody who is missing is alive
28:42and there's a need for speed.
28:44Not just every hour, every minute counts,
28:46which is why there's people in the air, people in the water, people on the ground right now
28:50because they're looking to save every last live and we will not give up that effort.
28:55Two more questions.
28:56Two more questions.
28:57Two more questions.
28:58Two more questions.
28:59I have a question.
29:00I have a question.
29:01I have a question.
29:02Why was the National Weather Service not peeing their phones before 7 o'clock the day of the 4th of July?
29:08Any of the federal people can answer that maybe for us.
29:11I got updates at 7 o'clock.
29:14The first one I heard, and I've heard updates throughout the week, but not before 7 o'clock in the morning.
29:20Wasn't that a fundamental failure of the federal government's responsibility to people stay?
29:24Well, you know, my background is before I was in the secretary position here under the Trump administration,
29:31I was governor of South Dakota and served in Congress for eight years before I was governor.
29:36And so I will tell you that for decades, for years, everybody knows that the weather is extremely difficult to predict,
29:42but also that the National Weather Service over the years at times has done well
29:47and at times we have all wanted more time and more warning and more alerts and more notification.
29:52That is something and one of the reasons that when President Trump took office that he said he wanted to fix
29:58and is currently upgrading the technology and the National Weather Service has indicated that with that and NOAA
30:04that we needed to renew this ancient system that has been left in place with the federal government for many, many years,
30:11and that is the reforms that are ongoing there.
30:15The timeline that I have, I don't oversee the National Weather Service, that's not under my department,
30:19but the timeline that I did receive from them was that the notifications started to look at its expansion for its limited flood impacts area
30:27that started on July 3rd at 1.18 p.m.
30:31The flood watch was issued.
30:33Although it was moderate, it wasn't to the extremes that it was,
30:37that when the system came over the area that it stalled, it was much more water,
30:42much like I think we experienced during Harvey, the same type of system that was unpredictable in the way that it reacted
30:48and the way that it stopped right here and dumped unprecedented amounts of rain that caused a flooding event like this.
30:54They continued to elevate and up their notifications.
30:58You know, when your notification hit your phone, sir, I'm sorry, I can't speak to when that is,
31:03but I do carry your concerns back to the federal government and to President Trump
31:07and we will do all we can to fix those kinds of things that may have felt like a failure to you and to your community members.
31:15But we know that everybody wants more warning time and that's why we're working to upgrade the technologies
31:21that have been neglected by far too long to make sure that families have as much advance notice as possible.
31:27One more question, folks.
31:29Can you please get to the search efforts of where that's happening and what the challenges are?
31:34The question was search efforts.
31:36Where it's happening, challenges, what it's looking like.
31:39The entire river is being searched from the northernmost impact all the way as we run down.
31:44You have assets in the air that are still doing searches.
31:47You have boats that are in the water doing searches and you have ground crews doing searches.
31:51As the water recedes, new areas being uncovered and searched and you have human and canine that are working those banks and will continue.
31:59It's a grid situation where we've got maps in there in the EOC where you can see what group is assigned to what area and reporting back to command if they find or if they continue to clear.
32:10And that process is going to keep going.
32:12We are not stopping until we find everyone that's missing.
32:15I agree.
32:16Thank you everyone.
32:17That's all we've got time for.
32:18Go ahead.
32:19I agree.
32:20As far as the resources people who respond and recover, we have FEMA and we have the state.
32:28What can people depend on from the federal government and the state government in the time of meeting?
32:29There's a lot of time.
32:31As in every emergency situation, the local emergency responders put together what the request is through the state and the state coordinates all of the response and what assets may be necessary and makes a request to us.
32:42a request to us. So now that the governor has already requested this federal
32:47disaster declaration, they will start to tell us what the needs are and the
32:51federal government will do all that we can to support. Well there already has
32:56been direct assistance. I mean when you look at having Coast Guard assets here
33:00on the ground, we just requested more assets to be here. A Border Patrol here,
33:04if there's more individuals and federal law enforcement officers, if we need you
33:10know any assets that I may have under my purview, I've made available to Nim and
33:14so he knows that what if he needs something, it'll be here.
33:17Thank you, folks.
