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.

As President Donald Trump headed to Texas to see the brutal effects of the floods firsthand, a senior White House official told The Washington Post the administration is focused on “rebranding” the disaster response agency instead of eliminating it entirely.

The homeland security secretary said a report that thousands of calls to a disaster hotline went unanswered because of staffing cuts was “false.”
