***NEED FOR ASSISTANCE***
Request for supplies for our volunteer fire departments. If you would like to donate water, gatorade, snacks, etc..., please drop your goods off at any of our volunteer fire departments.

Our volunteer firefighters and first responders have been hit hard this week with multiple fires around the county. Please help them replenish thier supplies and show your support for our dedicated volunteer fire fighters.

Please be cautious and careful as our county is very dry and it only takes a single poor choice to start a fire.

Looking for a getaway? On December 6, 2025, take a little drive to party with a purpose at the San Saba Strong Fest!
San Saba, at the top of the Texas Hill Country, is nestled among countless pecan orchards, & known as the “Pecan Capital of the World”. This small quaint and charming community sustained devastating damage during the recent July 4 & July 13 floodings. A group of awesome individuals has organized a "fun time" event to assist the victims of those floods. Mark your calendars and come support this cause to help the San Saba County flood victims on their long road to recovery.

From Craig Whiting:

As we work through the damage and disruption caused by the flooding in San Saba County we at First Baptist Church are coordinating volunteers to help clear debris and repair fences for ranchers in our county. Many times this is impacting the ranchers ability to care for their livestock.

If you can help with hands or equipment, please text this number:

833-235-0453.

If you have been impacted and need flood relief help, you can also text your information to the above number.

As the days fly on by, away from the flooding and towards the drying out process, we need to continually remind ourselves and those around us of what is available in San Saba County. There are many ready to jump into this phase that we call RECOVERY. For those of us who were impacted by the flooding, you need to remember to fill out the iSTAT survey. These entries are compiled into a list that allows Emergency Management officials to share survivors’ information with the volunteers coming into the County to help US with the recovery process. You, also, need to remember that FEMA is still operating the Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) up at the San Saba Civic Center (1190 S. Thomas Stewart Dr, San Saba, TX 76877. There you can find help from FEMA, the Texas Department of Insurance, the Small Business Administration, the Health and Human Services Commission, and AgriLife. They are all here to help YOU understand the options that you have. This is the face-to-face time you have been asking for. And they can help you by answering your questions and helping you navigate this thing we call a Federally Declared Disaster.
AND today (Friday) from 6-9pm, and tomorrow (Saturday) from 10am to 2pm, St. Mary’s Catholic Church will host a Multi-Agency Resource Fair. You will be able to meet local and national groups that can offer different disaster relief-related information and services. All disaster survivors are encouraged to come out and check out what is available…even if you have been to the DRC and spoken with all those groups.
It is safe to say that San Saba County has been extremely blessed with so many helping hands coming in from across the State and from around the nation. They quickly came to help those of us who were impacted by the historic flooding events. Many individuals, organizations, and local and State officials have begun the timeframe that we will come to know as the Long Term Recovery Process. This starts with the formation of a Long Term Recovery Group, who are tasked to ensure that the coordination of disaster-related unmet needs are addressed for the whole community.
