In Texas, President Donald Trump saw Firsthand on Friday, with excessive floods, with at least 120 people killed and the score still disappeared in the state’s hill country area, trying to assure the residents of the federal response to the disaster.
The President met with local authorities and emergency employees at the Hard-Hit Car County, where he received a briefing, as well as on his visit by First Lady Melania Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbot. Trump surveyed a disadvantage in a helicopter flight and then showed what the map of the flooded area appeared.
The scale of destruction was clear – with Trump and the first woman stood in front of a tractor trailer and the bottom, among the trees, one will for the deadlike force, destroying the flood waters, which was bloated through the community.
“This is a terrible thing, a terrible thing. No one can believe it too, such a thing – so much water, that fast,” Trump already left Washington on Friday. “We are going there with some great families and others, governor, everyone.”
Disaster deaths include children who were participating in the summer camps of girls located near the Guadalup River, where high water cabins, bridges and roads were swept away. Camp Mistic said that it had lost 27 campers and consultants in Delus.
Officers in Ker County, where deaths occurred, say 36 children and 60 adults were included in the dead. About 160 people are missing. Statewide death toll is expected to be mount as rescuers continue to search through debris for missing people.
Local, state and federal authorities have conducted a thorough investigation on their initial response in the days after the flash flood, especially how there was a lack of warnings in a county for the flood and whether the forecasts were made accurately aware of the local residents in a timely manner.
Some Democrats have also questioned what effect the Trump administration may have an impact in the disaster, including the federal staffing cuts, national weather services.
White House Press Secretary Karolin Levit condemned criticism earlier this week as “deprived and disgusting”, and said the National Meteorological Service “warned quickly and constantly.” The White House has maintained the workforce cuts that do not affect the flash flood’s response.
Trump signed an disaster announcement on Sunday for Ker County. Homeland security secretary Christie Nom has said that the American Coast Guard was deployed to assist in search and rescue efforts and the Federal Emergency Management Agency has sent resources to assist respondenrs in the state earlier. Noam visited the kingdom on Saturday and appeared with Abbott.
Abbott has called a special legislative session and several agenda items are related to floods, including flood warning systems and natural disaster preparations. Texas Lieutenant Gove Dan Patrick said that the state would pay to warn the sirens in rural districts that cannot tolerate them.
In a telephone interview with NBC News released on Thursday night, Trump said, “After seeing this terrible incident, I think you will put an alarm in some form or the other.”
