President Trump has not talked about eliminating FEMA as the emergency response agency helps with recovery efforts from the Texas floods.

President Donald Trump is touring the devastation left by flash flooding in central Texas amid growing questions about how local officials responded to the crisis as well as questions about the federal response -- including the fate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency -- that he has so far avoided.

Trump lauded local officials amid mounting criticism that they failed to warn residents fast enough that a deadly wall of water was coming their way.

DHS head Kristi Noem refuted a CNN report that her requirement for personal sign-off on DHS contracts over $100,000 slowed emergency response to deadly Texas flooding.

Heavy rain poured over parts of central Texas, dumping more than a month's worth of rain for places like San Angelo.
