Key takeaway The news conference comes after a tornado touched down Wednesday morning in northwest Bexar County, causing significant damage.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
The disaster declaration for Bexar County comes as a crucial step in mobilizing state resources to support local communities affected by the severe storms. With parts of the county receiving up to 3.5 inches of rain, the threat of flash flooding is a major concern for residents, particularly those living in low-lying areas. The activation of 24-hour operations at the state emergency operations center will enable rapid deployment of resources, such as emergency personnel and equipment, to areas in need. As the situation continues to unfold, San Antonio residents should remain vigilant and take necessary precautions, including staying off flooded roads and monitoring local weather forecasts. The declaration's impact will be closely watched, especially if additional counties are added, as it will affect the allocation of state resources and support for affected communities.
