DHS Secretary Kristi Noem addressed the deadly Texas flood, promising to upgrade "ancient" National Weather Service systems for better early warnings.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is asking for answers from federal agencies over the warning systems and subsequent federal response following devastating flooding in Central Texas over the July 4th weekend.

Six months into Trump’s second term, Americans confront more bureaucracy, more paperwork, more delays and more inefficiencies.

Most of the flooding occurred in Texas Hill Country, which is one of the most flash-flood prone areas in the United States. Many criticized a delayed flood alert from Kerr County, with Noem pinning blame on the agency’s “ancient” flood monitoring system.

The president and first lady visited Kerrville to meet local officials and families of the victims of the recent flooding. Trump promised federal support, but his team emphasized the state's role.
