State and local officials in Texas have come under scrutiny over the lack of sirens in place to warn people of impending flash flooding.

In the days after the devastating flood that killed dozens in Central Texas, local officials have deflected direct questions about preparations and warnings in advance of the storm that struck July Fourth.

In a social media post Monday, the Austin Firefighters Association blasted Fire Chief Joel Baker for waiting to send local firefighters to Kerr County to help with flood response.

President Donald Trump says he has been in contact with Gov. Greg Abbott after the deadly flash flooding in Central Texas and said he will “probably” visit the area on Friday.
