Doge reduced warning and response time for the Texas flood.

[Nostra]

Nothing substantial. No agency has had to deal with any significant cuts. To you a cut is reducing the amount of a spending increase.

And the Cult can’t show how these warnings were any different than previous warnings.

They are insane partisan hacks.

North Carolina was totally unprepared for a massive hurricane in the western part of the state. Most resources were allocated for the Outer Banks

FEMA provided massive aid where it was needed

FEMA's own assessment shows it often fails to help those most in need. The agency did not respond to follow-up questions about its analyses, including whether it has completed additional income-based analyses since 2019.

Disaster experts and local officials have warned for decades that FEMA's approach to disaster assistance is fundamentally unfair.

"It validates everything we've been saying for years now," says Chauncia Willis, the former emergency manager for Tampa, Fla., and co-founder of the Institute for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Management, a nonprofit organization that advocates for equity in disaster response. "We know there are structural inequities within the system of how FEMA does business — their programs, their policies, their funding."

Congressman Tim Moore Slams FEMA Corruption, Demands Accountability and Immediate Reform

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Tim Moore (NC-14) took to the House floor calling for immediate reform after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) attempted to funnel $59 million to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal immigrants — despite clear opposition from the...

“Just yesterday, Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency uncovered that FEMA bureaucrats—against the Trump Administration’s wishes—tried to send a $59 million payment to luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in New York City. They had the gall to try to sneak this under our noses. Not anymore,” said Rep. Moore.

Despite its assertions to the contrary, FEMA was obviously unprepared to deal with the housing assistance issues stemming from Hurricane Katrina. Even worse, FEMA acknowledged in April 2007 that it did not have an emergency response plan ready before the 2007 hurricane season, 317 although by July 31 the director stated he believed FEMA was prepared. 318 FEMA's response to the housing problems caused by Katrina was excruciatingly slow, which strained the patience of disaster victims and indeed most Americans. FEMA's erratic behavior and internal bureaucratic debacles were troubling when one considers that the sole reason for the agency's existence is to assist disaster victims in meeting crucial needs.

Shall I keep going? I assure you that I can...

I saw a crawl in CNN's screen during their State of the Union broadcast where they finally acknowledged the many NWS warnings given but are now they are blaming Texan's "Alert Warning Fatigue" for ignoring them.

While there may be some truth in that they just don't give up do they?

FEMA failed to answer nearly half of the calls for assistance, aid it received during Hurricanes Helen and Milton: report

The Federal Emergency Management Agency failed to answer nearly half of the calls for aid and assistance it recently received during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, a report released this week shows.

“While American citizens from Hawaii to North Carolina suffered, Biden and Mayorkas used FEMA as a piggy bank, spending hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars to housing illegal aliens, including at the Roosevelt Hotel that served as a Tren de Aragua base of operations and was used to shelter Laken Riley’s killer.”

Media attacked Bush over Katrina, but ignores Biden-Harris failures as Americans suffer. For five days, the U.S. Army’s helicopters stayed on the ground. The Biden-Harris administration’s response to Hurricane Helene has been slow, weak, and deadly—but, except for Fox News, you wouldn’t know it...

In reality the Biden era FEMA got exposed for intentionally withholding assistance to areas which was populated by mostly Trump voters.

There were communities that had still received no aid until Trump took over.

Thread 'Doge reduced warning and response time for the Texas flood.'

Jul 5, 2025

Doge taking a chain saw to our weather monitoring and warning systems and to FEMA has made the tragedy of the Texas flood even worse than it had to be. Those agencies were in place for a reason, and should have never been degraded by someone who didn't even understand why we need those agencies.


Yes, it's quite possible that victims of the recent Texas flood could have received earlier or more effective warnings if not for cuts and policy shifts tied to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and former President Donald Trump's administration.
