Commissioners in Kerr County, Texas, are set to meet Monday in their first official court hearing since more than 100 people, including children and counselors at a summer camp, were killed in catastrophic flooding last week.

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

At least 24 people are dead after heavy rain lashed Texas, leading to "catastrophic" flooding. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said emergency responders remained in a search and rescue posture, hours after the flooding along the Guadalupe River inundated nearby areas.
