US EditionTrump to visit Texas flood site amid questions about disaster response
TEXAS, JUL 11 – President Trump tours flood-ravaged Texas as over 120 deaths and 160 missing highlight challenges in disaster response and coordination between federal and state agencies.
- Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security offered a standardized response to criticism, defending its rule requiring DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to personally approve FEMA expenditures over $100,000.
- President’s team affirms that FEMA’s downsizing plans remain unchanged, aiming to shift disaster response authority back to the states.
- According to CNN, Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, delaying deployment by more than 72 hours after flooding began.
- Supplemental state and Mexican teams waited for official activation, which didn’t occur until last Monday, according to CNN.
- Broader implications emerge as FEMA reform is tested, with over 130 deaths and more than 160 missing in Texas flooding.
