US EditionMassachusetts Democrat calls for Noem’s resignation following Texas flooding
CENTRAL TEXAS, USA, JUL 15 – Senators criticize Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for delayed aid and poor communication during deadly Central Texas floods that killed over 130 people, citing a 64% drop in FEMA call center responses.
- This past week, Sen. Ed Markey said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign over her handling of deadly Texas floods, citing delayed aid and mismanagement.
- Across the Texas Hill Country, the July 4 flash floods dumped up to 6.5 inches of rain in three hours, causing rivers to surge more than 30 feet above normal and overwhelming local emergency services.
- Despite urgent calls, multiple independent reports show thousands of calls went unanswered when Noem allowed call-center contracts to lapse, delaying aid deployment.
- Vermont Sen. Peter Welch called for Noem’s resignation on the Senate floor, accusing her of mismanaging money and worsening flood response delays.
- Absent such scrutiny, future emergencies risk similar bureaucratic paralysis, and Congress must hold hearings to ensure FEMA remains a rapid, reliable first responder.
