Standing With Kerr County: The Road to Recovery

As soon as floodwaters swept through Kerr County, our AH&H team arrived to provide immediate support. In the first days of our response, we focused on helping families return to their homes safely by removing debris, salvaging personal belongings, and beginning the process of cleaning and drying damaged spaces.

So far, our team has completed work on six homes and assessed more than two dozen additional properties to better understand the full scope of need. With 14 more homes already in our queue, many requiring urgent sanitation and drying, we know the work ahead is significant.

Recovery after flooding is never quick or easy, but we remain committed to standing alongside Kerr County families as they begin the long journey toward rebuilding their homes and lives.
