On Friday, July 4, heavy rainfall caused extreme flash floods that swept through the Hill Country region of Central Texas, creating a state of emergency. The floods have resulted in extensive damage to infrastructure, including road washouts. Initial reports and assessments have revealed that the flooding has killed more than 100 people, including 28 children, making it one of the deadliest US floods in over a century. Several counties remain under flood watch as search-and-rescue operations continue.
International Medical Corps is responding to this catastrophic flooding, working in close coordination with the Texas Association of Community Health Centers to provide critically needed relief and recovery supplies to health facilities and affected communities. We also stand ready to deploy medical and mental health volunteers if requested by the state.
By supporting this project, you can help bring urgently needed medical care and supplies to communities in Texas that have been affected by the flooding, and help them rebuild from this disaster.
*Please note for recurring donations: Once we have determined that the community can continue to respond to the after-effects of this emergency without us, we will scale back our response efforts. At that time, we will redirect your future donations where they are needed most to help us respond to future outbreaks of conflict, disease or disaster.
