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

"It’s hard to believe the devastation," Trump said. "Trees that are 100 years old just ripped out of the ground. I've never seen anything like this, and I've seen a lot of bad ones."

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump met with local, state and federal officials and first responders who are navigating the aftermath of flash floods that devastated the Central Texas community in Kerrville.

Weeks before flash floods devastated the Texas Hill Country, Gov. Greg Abbott participated in the first meeting of a new council to overhaul the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He criticized FEMA as “slow and clunky,” arguing that states are able to respond “more nimbly, more swiftly, more effectively” to disasters.

President Donald Trump met with victims' families and surveyed the damage of catastrophic floods that struck the state one week ago.

A reporter from CBS News Texas asked the president Friday if more lives could've been saved if emergency alerts were issued earlier.

Pastor Joe Taylor and his daughter Hannah join ‘America Reports’ to discuss their donation drive for flood victims in Texas and reflect on President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump’s visit to the disaster response site.
