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

Sources have said FEMA wasn’t authorized to launch search and rescue teams until 72 hours after flooding began.

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

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.

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.
