Our Impact in Bastrop County

Bastrop County has faced numerous disasters that have tested the strength of our community, and BCLTRT has been there every step of the way.

​

• 2011 Bastrop Complex Fire – One of the most devastating wildfires in Texas history, destroying over 1,600 homes and affecting thousands of residents. BCLTRT played a critical role in coordinating recovery efforts, providing financial assistance, and helping families rebuild.

• 2015 Memorial Day & Halloween Floods – Severe flooding swept through the area, displacing families and damaging homes. Our team provided emergency resources, case management, and reconstruction support.

• 2017 Hurricane Harvey – Though Bastrop County was not directly in the hurricane’s path, throughout our county residents still sustained wind damage and some flooding. We assisted evacuees from other areas and supported long-term relief efforts across our county.

• Winter Storm Uri (2021) – The historic freeze left many without power, water, and essential supplies. BCLTRT helped distribute food, water, and emergency aid to affected residents.

• COVID-19 Pandemic – As the pandemic impacted Bastrop County, we provided critical relief, including food distribution, rent and utility assistance, and support for families facing financial hardship.
