White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the local and federal weather services provided sufficient warnings to the Kerr County community before the floods.

She outlined that on July 3 , the NWS office in Austin -San Antonio issued a flood watch in the early afternoon.

That was followed by numerous flood warnings on the night of July 3 and in the pre-dawn hours of July 4 , giving a lead time of three hours before the flash flood.
