Washington (CNN) —
As monstrous floodwaters surged across central Texas late last week, officials
at the Federal Emergency Management Agency leapt into action, preparing to deploy critical search and rescue teams and life-saving resources, like they have in countless past disasters.
But almost instantly, FEMA ran into bureaucratic obstacles, four officials inside the agency told CNN.
As CNN has previously reported, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — whose
department oversees FEMA — recently enacted a sweeping rule aimed at cutting
spending: Every contract and grant over $100,000 now requires her personal sign-off before any funds can be released.
For FEMA, where disaster response costs routinely soar into the billions as the
agency contracts with on-the-ground crews, officials say that threshold is essentially “pennies,” requiring sign-off for relatively small expenditures.
In essence, they say the order has stripped the agency of much of its autonomy
at the very moment its help is needed most.
“We were operating under a clear set of guidance: lean forward, be prepared,
anticipate what the state needs, and be ready to deliver it,” a longtime FEMA
official told CNN. “That is not as clear of an intent for us at the moment.”
For example, as central Texas towns were submerged in rising waters, FEMA officials realized they couldn’t pre-position Urban Search and Rescue crews from
a network of teams stationed regionally across the country.
In the past, FEMA would have swiftly staged these teams, which are specifically
trained for situations including catastrophic floods, closer to a disaster zone
in anticipation of urgent requests, multiple agency sources told CNN.
But even as Texas rescue crews raced to save lives, FEMA officials realized they
needed Noem’s approval before sending those additional assets. Noem didn’t
authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more
than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.

ICE Barbie, HIV-oozing Nazi whore, fucks up again. And what was she doing during
those 72 hours? Why, she was conducting polling on social media to get help picking out her official governor cowgirl portrait:
