The disaster left the residents of CARE, such as Marvin Willis, 67, and they want answers.
Willis said: “I did not get one alert.” Magazine He lives a mile and a half from the Guadalpe River and usually receives them on his phone. “I didn’t talk to anyone I know who got one.”
He said that the full transparency of the leaders is required: “If you do not know what happened, you do not know how to fix it.”
Even the mayor of Kurville, Joe Hering, said that he had not received any emergency alerts early on Friday and woke up only a call from the city director Dalton Rice at 5:30 am
“If they came”, and we had an opportunity to save all the people we lost while they were missing – at all, we had to have more. We should have a warning. “
herring He said on Tuesday on MSNBC The government leaders take the threats of natural disasters seriously, but the events that night are exposed very quickly.
“The question is,” Do I wish these people warned us? “Certainly, definitely.”
Abbott confirmed, in a separate press conference later on Tuesday, that the focus remained on the search and rescue effort and said that officials will enter into the causes of the disaster after the end of that stage.
In response to a question about what local officials knew early on Friday when the flood was descending, Abbott, a fans, said: “You have to ask them.”
Ronnie Parker, who lived in the Hunt community in CARE for 23 years, said he was among the population who had not received any alerts early on Friday. But he looks at the positives, such as how to fill the first respondents.
Baker said: “People from all over the country and the world, everyone wants to come and do something.” “We were only immersed with the people who help.”
Another resident, Reina Billy, who lived in Hunt since 1990, got alerts, but said that it could have been formulated stronger.
“I have notifications all the time about anything. There was no insistence on what I got,” said Billy.
While someone recalled on alert, saying that the weather was “threatening life”, she said that people may need more guidance, especially in a place where the floods were a way of life.
Billy said: “If they say that there is a wall of water coming or sitting, but I did not take it this way. They can blame me, but do not blame me, because I live here, and I know what I get all the time.”
