As of the end of the day Tuesday, there were still five Camp Mystic campers and one counselor unaccounted for, with identification pending for 19 adults and seven children. Another child not associated with the camp is also missing.

Kerr County officials say they are still focused mainly on the search for survivors with hundreds still missing and weren't yet examining how the emergency response unfolded.

Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha asked residents to avoid flood-damaged areas and not disturb debris piles that might contain victims, as Texas responders continue rescue operations.

At a Wednesday morning press conference, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha declined to answer a question about delayed emergency alerts, saying that an "after-action" would follow the search and rescue efforts. "Those questions are gonna be answered," he added.

Crews continue searching for victims a day after Gov. Greg Abbott said as many as 161 people could still be missing.
