Victims of July flooding in Texas struggling to get financial help from FEMA

Only about one-fifth of applicants for federal disaster assistance from Kerr County, Texas, have been deemed eligible to get financial help so far, leaving hundreds without governmental aid more than three months after deadly floods ravaged the county on July 4.

Featured story: I walked into an apartment slipping and stumbling on mud so thick I couldn’t see the floor underneath. The table in the dining room was set, decorated with charger plates, flowers, and napkins nicely folded. The mud and debris covered everything. https://www.texasobserver.org/where-the-water-reached/

#KerrCounty didn't have an emergency #flood command center until 6 AM on July 4th, over 4 hours after emergency flash flood alerts were sent & while #CampMystic was desperately trying to evacuate. Rescue crews were on their own & some were cut off by the flooding for hours. Emergency response county leadership were all MIA & none of the #Republican State or Federal elected leaders stepped in while 136 people died from a predicted disaster.

#Trump #Republicans cancelling CPB to #defund #PBS & #NPR effectively ends many of America's only emergency alert systems especially in rural areas. They are turning every American county into #KerrCounty #Texas where over a hundred people died from predicted flooding because their elected GOP leaders repeatedly voted against funding an effective alert system.

Public broadcasting cuts hit a nonprofit that's helped fund Sesame Street

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has long helped pay for PBS, NPR and 1,500 local radio and television stations and programs like “Sesame Street." On Friday, it said it would close after the U.S. government withdrew funding. The organization told employees that most staff positions will end with the fiscal year on Sept. 30. A small transition team will stay until January. The private, nonprofit corporation was founded in 1968, less than a year after Congress authorized its formation. It now ends nearly six decades of fueling the production of renowned educational programming, cultural content and emergency alerts about natural disasters.

This is horrific, #CampMystic in #KerrCounty #Texas called the sheriff's department for evacuation at 3:57 AM & then a deputy reported hearing the kids screaming in the river. They heard 27 kids & a counselor dying while trying to get emergency help from them.
