🚁 Our Travis County STAR Flight dispatched to the Hill Country yesterday (7/16). This is a water rescue in Gillespie County.
We are incredibly grateful to all first responders who continue working tirelessly to protect lives during this flooding event. 💙
📢 Out of an abundance of caution, all non-essential Travis County offices, facilities, services and parks will be closed Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026, due to icy road conditions. The Travis County Commissioners Court voting session is canceled and will be rescheduled at a later date.
TDEM joined local & federal partners in @TravisCountyTX for a series of meetings to kick off long-term recovery efforts after July’s flooding.
Discussions focused on community needs, survivor assistance & continued support across all levels of government.
