The Texas Dental Association (TDA) family extends its deepest sympathies and stands in unwavering solidarity with all those affected by the devastating floods that have swept through the Texas Hill Country.
Our hearts are heavy for the families in Kerr, Burnet, San Saba, Travis, and Williamson counties who have tragically lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. What should have been a time of joy has become a time of survival and unimaginable loss for so many of our fellow Texans. We share in the grief and pain felt across these communities.
Beacons of Hope and Gratitude
Amid the devastation, there are stories of resilience that serve as a beacon of hope. We are profoundly thankful for each person who has been found alive.
Our deepest gratitude goes to the heroic first responders and dedicated volunteers. These individuals risk their own safety to save others, tirelessly searching through the floodwaters to bring loved ones home. Their courage and selflessness embody the true spirit of Texas, and we are immensely grateful for their service.
