"Pagurek told colleagues at FEMA that the delay was the tipping point
that led to his voluntary departure after months of frustration with the
Trump administrationâs efforts to dismantle the agency, according to two
sources familiar with his thinking. It took more than 72 hours after the
flooding for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to authorize the
deployment of FEMAâs search and rescue network."

'Cost controls
As CNN first reported, FEMA leaders were unable to quickly mobilize some
critical resources, including these elite teams, in the crucial first
hours of the Texas floods. The holdup stemmed from a new rule imposed by
Noem, who continues to require her personal approval for every contract
and grant over $100,000 before funds can be released â a threshold that
FEMA officials called âpenniesâ during a disaster response.
Some FEMA teams, which are involved in large area searches, water
rescues and finding human remains, didnât arrive in Texas and begin
field work until a week after the flood.'

I don't know.
But do you think that perhaps such responses have gotten better with time?
Fun fact: FEMA didn't even EXIST when Johnson was president.
