Texas government has unfortunately cut funding for all city and county fire departments. Most rural departments are entirely volunteer. There is simply not enough to go around.FEMA would have to send helicopters and staff....and,as others have said, there are people in worse situations than Texans (And my sis lives in Midland and works the entire west region of Texas...I feel for her,Big Time).
the Feds would need to send National Guard this way...ones that are too busy in Afghanistan right now.
