The Texas Game Warden Search and Rescue Team and local partners have responded to numerous calls for service tonight involving people trapped by floodwaters in the Central Texas area.

Additional team members are strategically staged in areas across the state and remain ready to deploy in support of local communities and first responders as conditions change.

Monitor local forecasts and follow all safety directives from local officials. Do not drive around barricades, and avoid unnecessary travel in flooded areas. Never drive or walk through floodwater. It can conceal washed-out roads, debris and other hazards, and it is often deeper and moving faster than it appears.

Turn around, don’t drown. It’s not worth risking your life or anyone else's.
