Government Meeting Transcripts Analyzed
Comprehensive AI analysis of years of public records
revealing patterns invisible to manual review
Background of the Analysis
The July 2025 floods in Central Texas had a significant impact on the community. In the aftermath, questions arose regarding flood mitigation efforts and the deployment of federal funds.
To help provide clarity, we used DepoGenius—an AI platform typically used by attorneys for legal research—to analyze years of government meeting transcripts. This analysis identifies patterns in public records to provide context for the discussions held.
How AI Analysis Works
Advanced Pattern Recognition
DepoGenius uses the same AI technology that helps attorneys analyze thousands of pages of depositions and legal documents. For this analysis, we:
Processed 1200+ meeting transcripts from government bodies responsible for flood mitigation in the affected areas
Identified patterns and connections that would be nearly impossible for humans to detect across such a large dataset
Cross-referenced discussions about federal funding, risk awareness, and mitigation measures over multiple years
Presented findings with source citations linked directly back to specific meeting transcripts and timestamps
We believe in full transparency. Every finding presented in our analysis is linked directly to a source document. We encourage you to explore these connections to understand the data for yourself.

Flood Risk Awareness Narrative
Kerr County has a documented history of addressing flood risks, with discussions and actions spanning from 2000 to 2024. Records show the county establishing and refining floodplain regulations, responding to major flood events (like those in 2002 and 2018), and pursuing infrastructure projects such as bridge and dam repairs. Efforts have also focused on improving flood warning systems and managing development within flood-prone areas, alongside ongoing citizen concerns about increased runoff. For a comprehensive understanding of the county's flood mitigation journey, residents are encouraged to explore the detailed reports and public records available.
Flood-Related Discussions (2000-2024)
Kerr County's flood management efforts between 2000 and 2024 reveal a complex picture, with public records showing ongoing challenges despite various initiatives. While the county established floodplain regulations and pursued infrastructure repairs for bridges and dams, concerns about insufficient staffing for major flood events were raised as early as 2003. Furthermore, decisions to reallocate flood emergency funds and a failure to adopt a formal policy for closing dangerous low-water crossings highlight potential gaps in preparedness and risk management. Discussions also show instances where new developments were approved based on outdated flood maps, and a loophole existed in regulations that could allow large commercial projects to proceed without adequate drainage studies.
