Catastrophic wildfires have scorched over 1 million acres in the Texas Panhandle. Homes, barns, fences and livestock have been lost. In an effort to help farmers and ranchers who have been affected by the fires, Texas Farm Bureau established the Texas Panhandle Wildfire Relief Fund. 100% of all donations received go directly to farmers and ranchers impacted by the fires.
After the catastrophic flood of 2015, the South Carolina General Assembly took action and provided DHEC with additional resources to assess dams statewide. Since then, dam breaches have decreased significantly.
