In Texas, the death toll from this month’s massive flooding has reached 132. On Sunday, heavy rain and new flooding forced a halt to search efforts. Meanwhile, The New York Times has revealed FEMA didn’t answer thousands of calls from flood survivors after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem did not renew contracts for four call center companies the day after the flooding. On Monday, July 7, FEMA received over 16,400 calls. Only about 2,600 calls were answered — around 16% of all calls.
