President Trump promises support for Texas after touring flood damage

Trump surveys deadly storm damage in Texas

Trump allows FEMA to deploy resources to Texas

Trump is helping Texas flooding victims by signing a federal disaster declaration, enabling FEMA to deploy resources, visiting affected areas, meeting with families and first responders, and promising federal support for ongoing rescue and recovery efforts.

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump toured flood damage in Texas on Friday as the search for the 169 people still missing continues. Trump met with families affected by the deadly floods and promised his administration's support.

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump traveled to Central Texas Friday, where they surveyed damage from the flooding, which has claimed the lives of well over 100 people. They met with families of some of the victims, along with rescue workers and local officials.

As search and rescue teams in Central Texas look for the more than 160 people still missing from last week's flash floods, President Trump has signed a "federal disaster declaration" at the request of Gov. Greg Abbott. This allows the FEMA to deploy resources to the area, which comes not long after the president said he wanted to shut the agency down.
