Federal records contradict what FEMA leader told Congress about Texas flood response
Search and recovery crews remove debris from the bank of the Guadalupe River on July 9 in Center Point, Texas, after deadly flash floods. Most calls made between July 6 and July 9 to FEMA call centers went unanswered, according to call logs kept by the agency.

Funding for FEMA's disaster survivor hotline lapsed the day after the Texas floods, federal records show. It took DHS Secretary Kristi Noem five days to approve more money.
