Burnet County extends flood event disaster declaration

Burnet County emergency relief efforts continue following heavy rain and flooding which swamped many parts of the area during July 4.

Unanimously, during the July 8 meeting, the Burnet County Commissioners declared the county will remain a disaster area until August 5.

“We still have recovery operations underway for one victim and a lot of people who need help,” Judge County Bryan Wilson said during the July 8 session.
