Just weeks ago, President Donald Trump said he wanted to begin “phasing out” the Federal Emergency Management Agency after this hurricane season to “wean off of FEMA” and “bring it down to the state level.
Some governors and mayors are concerned over how current or potential cuts to agencies will impact how the government can respond in the future to major weather events.
President Trump has not talked about eliminating FEMA as the emergency response agency helps with recovery efforts from the Texas floods.
Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz has called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be investigated over the Federal Emergency Management Agency's response to catastrophic flooding in Texas.
President Donald Trump has avoided talk of scrapping the federal disaster response agency after the catastrophic flash flood in Texas that killed more than 100 people, including children at an all-girls camp.
As the recovery efforts continue after devastating flash floods in Texas Hill Country, NBC Dallas-Fort Worth obtained FEMA records revealing new details about alerts that were not sent when the flooding began.
A reporter from CBS News Texas asked the president Friday if more lives could've been saved if emergency alerts were issued earlier.
