The Texas Hill Country floods have caused widespread damage since July 4. More than 120 people have died, including 36 children, after the Guadalupe River burst its banks due to heavy rains. The search continues for 161 people who are missing.
More than a dozen states in the US have sent search and rescue teams to Kerr County, where the worst of the flooding has occurred. Officials said the last person found alive was Friday, a day after the flood.
Among the dead were 27 campers and staff from Camp Mystic, a summer camp for girls. To date, five children and a counselor from the camp are still missing.
Kerr County is part of the so-called "flash flood alley", an area of central Texas that is prone to flooding. Up to a foot of rain fell in just one hour, causing water levels to rise from 1 foot to 34 feet, submerging homes and knocking down trees.
According to Malacañang, no Filipinos were injured in the tragedy but the Philippine Government is ready to assist if needed. Authorities continue to focus on searching for possible survivors amidst the mud and collapsed debris.
