FEMA search and rescue teams take days to reach Texas after flooding as agency faces overhaul​

Multiple urban search and rescue teams from across the country that responded to the deadly floods in central Texas told CNN they were not deployed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency until at least Monday evening — days after any victim had been found alive.

Three of the teams, which are typically tasked with helping local first responders to urgently find survivors, were dispatched on Tuesday, more than four days after the Guadalupe River surge that has left more than 120 dead and scores missing. No victims have been found alive since last Friday, July 4.

Teams from Indiana, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri and Nevada left their states with crews which included searchers, dogs, boats and equipment to drive across the country in a race against time to reach Texas.

In the past, the agency would have quickly staged these teams near disaster zones in anticipation of urgent requests for assistance.

The decision to authorize deployments from a federal network of Urban Search and Rescue teams more than 72 hours after the calamity frustrated FEMA officials.

If an administration dismantles the government,
it obviously disables the government's functions as well.

We have a grossly malevolent administration that's totally devoid
of probity, rectitude, and needless to say, competence.

Remarkable that it took more than 72 hours to mobilize FEMA search and rescue teams.

I guarantee you that more than half of the MAGA posters on JPP are on social security, Medicare, Medicaid, or disability income, and some of them are former federal government employees.

When they say they want the government gutted, they only mean the parts that don't affect them.

Of course.
Don't look for atom splitters among them.

MAGA and intelligence have very little overlap,
and where it does occur,
it occurs among profiteers who know that they're morally despicable by civilized standards
but lack the character to care about anything but their own short term interests.

I strongly doubt any JPP MAGAts give a shit about anyone in the flood. They've been complaining for days that it's the victims own fault for not have wx radios and boats.

FEMA always comes in AFTER the disaster has subsided.
BTW, using CNN as a source is comedy gold.

None of the missing have been found alive since the morning of the flood despite having multiple rescue teams there This has been a recovery effort since the day after the flood. FEMA is low on funds because Biden used FEMA funds to support illegal immigrants.

Everyone who could have been saved was dead after 72 hours.

The were dead BEFORE 72 hours. I know of one person saved from the flood waters after the morning of the flood. She was swept downstream 20 miles in 4 hours and saved herself by climbing up a tree.

Well everything now that costs them more then I think it is 100,000 dollars has to be okayed personally by the head of HLS.
I am waiting to see how that goes over after 3 or 4 states get hit with a real bad hurricane.
So far southern states have been lucky this year and we have had one .But they have been hit with floods and it doesn't look like it is working out too well.
 
I lost the lower level of our home in an 18" rainfall back in the 1980's. FEMA set up its claims offices a couple of weeks after the water had subsided. At the time, we were told we were collecting our payout from funds collected from our SS payments. We received a mandatory payout of about $2000 + $1300 because we also lost our furnace.
Our losses exceeded $60,000 in 1980s cash, and because of our loss, we were entitled to purchase flood insurance at $2,300/year.

And even is any of what you blather is true, they would all still be dead. Because some adult didn't have due diligence.

So you went looking for a government handout, instead of blaming yourself for choosing to live in a flood risk area.

You need to read. I stated that we were being paid with funds that WE PAID as part of our SS tax. I got $3000 for (in 1986 dollars) a $60,000 loss. It was not a flood risk area at the time of our loss. We were then deemed to be in a floodplain and had to pay something like $2300/yr for the next 36 years until we moved out last month.
