This NPR news podcast, "Up First," covers several developing stories. The podcast starts with a report on the vigil held in Kerrville, Texas, for the victims of the recent flash floods, including an interview with Lucio Vazquez from the Texas Newsroom, who provides on-the-ground coverage of the community's response and concerns about the lack of warnings. The podcast then shifts to an NPR investigation led by Laura Sullivan, which reveals discrepancies between FEMA flood maps and actual flood risks, particularly concerning the Camp Mystic area. The broadcast also includes an update from NPR's Joanna Kakissis in Kyiv, who reports on the intensified Russian airstrikes and the urgent need for air defense systems, along with expert analysis on the prospects for a ceasefire. Finally, the podcast touches on the resurgence of measles cases in the U.S. due to falling vaccination rates.
