Trump to Visit Texas Flood Site Amid Questions About Disaster Response

President Trump to Visit Texas After Deadly Flood
President Donald Trump will visit central Texas on Friday to assess the damage caused by the July 4 flash flood that killed at least 120 people, including 36 children. The disaster struck the Guadalupe River area in Kerr County, sweeping through communities with little warning after more than a foot of rain fell in less than an hour.

Focus on Response and Relief
Trump will meet with local officials, emergency responders, and grieving families. Questions have been raised about the speed and effectiveness of the government’s response. The county had previously declined to install a flood-warning system after being denied state grant funds. A special legislative session will be held later this month to review the disaster and allocate emergency relief funding.

Federal Support Amid Scrutiny
While FEMA has deployed resources and financial assistance, critics—including Senator Chuck Schumer—have questioned whether prior budget cuts to weather and emergency services hindered the response. The National Weather Service has defended its forecasting efforts, saying extra staff were sent ahead of the storm.

Trump’s Comments and Ongoing Investigation
When asked about potential impacts from proposed FEMA cuts, Trump avoided specifics, calling the disaster “an act of God” and stating, “It didn’t,” when pressed on whether funding cuts had affected the response. The administration maintains that federal agencies acted appropriately during the crisis.
