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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"960\"><strong data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"555\">Focus on Response and Relief<\/strong><br data-start=\"555\" data-end=\"558\" \/>Trump will meet with local officials, emergency responders, and grieving families. Questions have been raised about the speed and effectiveness of the government\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"1312\"><strong data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"995\">Federal Support Amid Scrutiny<\/strong><br data-start=\"995\" data-end=\"998\" \/>While FEMA has deployed resources and financial assistance, critics\u2014including Senator Chuck Schumer\u2014have questioned whether prior budget cuts to weather and emergency services hindered the response.
