Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem praised the rapid response of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security to the Texas flash floods on both NBC News and Fox News Sunday morning.
Noem defended the speed at which her department deployed resources, despite claims that it took longer to send them due to her new policy requiring all FEMA contracts and grants above $100,000 be approved by her.
“Within just an hour or two after the flooding, we had resources from the Department of Homeland Security there helping those individuals in Texas,” Noem told Kristen Welker, host of “Meet the Press.”
According to Noem, the policy is widely used throughout the DHS “for accountability purposes.”
“I want that accountability in place because it’s the taxpayer dollars, and we need to know that when those dollars are going out to help communities, it’s actually getting there,” Noem said.
