U.S. Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston, said he was "outraged" at the agency because first responders at two staging areas are without food and water.

Stratford High School's Tully Stadium and Spring Forest Middle school are staging areas for Texas Department of Public Safety officers and Texas State Guard and Texas National Guard troops.

"It's just outrageous," Culberson said, calling on residents near those sites to share food and water with the emergency crews. "I think it's inexcusable. ... I was horrified to discover that our first responders needed our help."
