Texas Floods: Death Toll 119, 160 goes missing; Trump’s Fama’s plan to face an investigation

According to CNN reports, disastrous floods through Central Texas have killed at least 119 people, more than 160 people are still unaware. The devastation has begun the latest investigation into the country’s emergency response model, especially as US President Donald Trump, who recently proposed to phase the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), now facing a rapid federal response to the crisis.Emergency planning questionedThe concern is also increasing whether proper precautions were taken in the days before the flood. The records obtained by CNN showed that a state inspector approved the camp Mystic, where 27 people died, exactly two days before the disaster as an emergency plan. The revelation has given rise to new questions how effectively that plan was followed.Governor Abbott, who recently visited the affected areas, stated that the state’s emergency warning system would be reviewed in a special legislative session this month.Trump administration back FEMA reactionDespite Trump’s previous statements, “Get out of FEMA” and want to transfer responsibility for the states, his administration is now highlighting how soon FEMA has responded to the Texas disaster. The President approved the request of Governor Greg Abbott for a major disaster declaration within a day, unlocking federal assistance to the affected residents and local authorities.At a cabinet meeting, Homeland’s Security Secretary Christie Nom told Trump, “We are cutting through the old FEMA paperwork, streamlining it, so much in such a way how FEMA should be operated.” He said that the federal support for Texas resembles the “State Block Grants” model by the President.However, former FEMA officials argued that the current partnership of the agency reflects its traditional role rather than any adequate change. “This is a defined phenomenon that can help them feel that a federal emergency management agency is required,” Michael Coon said, the head of the staff of the staff under President Obama and Biden. “Imagine that if such an incident occurred after one year from now, after the end of FEMA.”
