Texas officials say flash flood warning failures that led to 82 deaths were caused by staffing shortages at the National Weather Service, following Trump-era budget cuts.
The disaster hit hardest in Kerr County, where 68 people died, including 28 children at Camp Mystic.
Critics point to unfilled key roles in weather offices that delayed emergency alerts and evacuation efforts.
President Trump declared a federal disaster, but questions are growing over why camps weren’t evacuated and whether federal cuts cost lives.
