TDEM Activates State Emergency Response Resources Ahead Of West, Central Texas Flood Threat​

The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) today announced that the agency activated state emergency response resources in anticipation of increased threats of flooding in parts of West and Central Texas heading into the holiday weekend.

“As rain and flooding threatens parts of Texas ahead of the Independence Day weekend, state emergency response resources have been activated to support local response efforts," said Texas Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd. "Our priority remains protecting lives and property and Texans are urged to proactively prepare for potential hazards. Remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”

According to the National Weather Service, heavy rainfall with the potential to cause flash flooding is anticipated across West Texas and the Hill Country beginning tonight and is expected to last a few days. Texans are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and avoid driving or walking into flooded areas.

Really? They didn’t cancel USAID, or cripple SNAP and NOAA, and before you mention abortion, Republicans get abortions, too.

Foes of President Trump are claiming budget cuts by the White House hampered the federal weather agency’s ability to issue life-saving warnings in time.

But reviews by experts, the NWS’ own timeline of the steadily escalating warnings the federal agency issued before the flooding disaster hit — and the fact that the budget cuts aren’t supposed to take effect until """"""Oct. 1"""""" — have debunked the assertion.

Budget cuts do not to take effect until Oct. 1

They fired management. DOGE cut hundred of workers.

DOGE cuts contributed to Texas flood impact—former NOAA administrator

Former NOAA administrator Rick Spinrad said an NWS vacancy could have been why some people didn't receive flood warnings.

Do u have a weather radio? Guess u didnt have it on

AI Overview

Yes, flood warnings for the recent Texas floods were broadcast on NOAA Weather Radio. The National Weather Service (NWS) uses NOAA Weather Radio as one of its primary methods for disseminating urgent weather information, including flood warnings. These warnings are broadcast on specific VHF frequencies (162.400 to 162.550 MHz) and can be received by anyone with a compatible radio receiver, according to the National Weather Service.


The National Weather Center indicated Kerrville, Texas, and its surrounding areas could be at risk of flash flooding Thursday, according to the National Weather Service timeline. Then, NWS Austin/San Antonio issued a flood watch at 1:18 p.m. Thursday into Friday morning. It issued its urgent flash flood warnings for Kerr County at 1:14 a.m.

The agency noted that it sent out a flash flood warning with tags of “considerable” or “catastrophic” at 1:14 a.m. CT Friday

“Flash Flood Warnings were issued on the night of July 3 and in the early morning of July 4, giving preliminary lead times of more than three hours,” the statement said.

National Weather Service defends its flood warnings amid fresh scrutiny of Trump staff cuts

Experts said warnings issued in the run-up to this weekend’s flooding were as timely and accurate as possible, but questions about whether the alerts reached people most at risk remain.
