ESI PEO Advocates for Kerrville Flood Relief Efforts with Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As Kerrville, Texas, continues to recover from the catastrophic flooding that struck over the July 4th weekend, ESI, a Texas-based Professional Employer Organization (PEO), is intensifying its advocacy for the Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Kerrville Rebuilding and Recovery Fund. The initial floods, which dumped up to 20 inches of rain in hours, claimed at least 131 lives, with 97 still missing in the greater Kerrville area, and caused widespread destruction along the Guadalupe River. New storms on July 14 and 15, bringing 2–5 inches of rain and flash flood warnings across Kerr and Gillespie Counties, have further strained search and rescue operations, with resources stretched thin by additional flooding in Central Texas counties like San Saba, Lampasas, and Schleicher. With more heavy rain forecast through tonight, potentially adding 1–3 inches, the region faces heightened risks, making support for recovery efforts more urgent than ever.The Kerrville community, a cornerstone of the Hill Country, has suffered extensive damage to small businesses, with infrastructure and operations severely impacted. The Kerrville Rebuilding and Recovery Fund provides critical support, including:
Repairs and restoration for damaged properties
Replacement of signage and storefronts
Utility bill assistance
Gap funding for essential business operations

“We are devastated by the ongoing tragedy in Kerrville and the mounting challenges posed by new storms,” said Corey Hookstra, President of ESI PEO. “As a company committed to supporting small businesses, we are compelled to advocate for the Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce’s recovery efforts and urge our clients, partners, and the broader PEO industry to join us in helping this resilient community rebuild.”ESI is calling on businesses, HR professionals, and PEOs across Central Texas to contribute to the Kerrville Rebuilding and Recovery Fund. Search and rescue efforts, involving over 2,100 responders from 10 states, were paused again on July 14 due to flash flood warnings but have resumed along the Guadalupe River despite difficult conditions. Volunteers were urged to seek higher ground on July 14 as storms brought 6–10 inches of rain to parts of Central Texas, prompting evacuations in San Saba County and complicating recovery across the region. The lack of a robust flood warning system, compounded by Kerr County’s past unsuccessful attempts to secure funding, has heightened scrutiny and underscores the urgency of community support. This collective effort is critical to restoring the economic heart of the Hill Country amid ongoing weather threats.How to ContributeBusinesses and individuals can support the Kerrville Rebuilding and Recovery Fund by:
