    Why have these folks not requested assistance from the Army Corp of Engineers to repair this dam?? If this happened in May, why on earth did you choose not to tell anyone? Accountability ppl....

      Because they didn’t discover the emergency condition until last week. The symptom they discovered in May did not necessarily indicative of an emergency. Kind of like your doctor looking at routine test results and saying, “everything could be fine, or you could have a serious kidney condition. We won’t know until you see a specialist.”

      That is the last government agency you want to show up for something like this.

      The phrase "hurry up and wait" is why you take care of the problem locally.

    What ever happened to bidens infrastructure bill?

      @lolalalia4119 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      As of March 2024, these are the amounts Texas has received directly from Biden's infrastructure bill and how TEXAS has chosen to spend it. The bill doesn't dictate how a state use the funds as long as they are going to infrastructure.
      Roads and bridges $16.6 billion
      Internet $3.3 B
      Water $1 B
      School busses $77.2 million
      EV charging $334.1 million
      Energy $3.2 B
      Airports $1 B
      Ports and waterways $370.5 million
      Resilience against climate change $1.2 B
      Pollution $18 million
      Also, this was an issue discovered just a few months ago. Repairing a damn can take years. Especially if it was not maintained appropriately or built poorly. Basically, you cannot blame a breaking damn deep in Texas on Biden when he literally has given atexas BILLIONS of dollars to repair it.

      The money was offered. Certain representatives decided their constituents aren't worth asking for it. Problems being solved make democrats look good and that's bad to certain people.

      FEMA Has nothing to do with the dam or the flooding or anything else. FEMA Only helps with resources, recovery, and coordination. If you have flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program, your insurance agent should be able to help you with your claim. If you don't have flood insurance, then there is nothing anyone can do other than FEMA giving you a low interest loan so that you can rebuild. You will need flood insurance for the future, and you may want to consider building your house on piers to elevate it above the flood zone. Flood insurance will likely triple next year. Scientist warned us for two decades that flooding would become much more severe along the gulf coast, and this fall, Congress is likely to either kill the "Socialist" national flood insurance program or require it to greatly shift the premium load to the coastal states, and rates are projected to triple.
