President Donald Trump is set to visit central Texas on Friday to inspect the catastrophic damage after a deadly flash flood hit the region on July 4, claiming at least 120 lives and leaving scores missing.

A week after the disaster, there is intense scrutiny on government response efforts. Trump's visit comes as thousands of first responders search through debris in hopes of finding survivors. The flood, considered the deadliest disaster of Trump's presidency, sent torrents of water down the Guadalupe River early on Independence Day, devastating communities.

The President will meet victims' families, speak with emergency responders, and receive a briefing from local authorities. While the focus is now on recovery, questions arise about whether local officials should have implemented early-warning systems. Trump has not directly addressed FEMA's past operational reorganization plans but has ensured the agency's active role in the aftermath.
