White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on July 7 that the National Weather Service had a full staff on hand to handle the Central Texas flooding over the weekend.

The Department of Homeland Security has updated the death toll from the flooding to 91 victims, Leavitt said, and the Trump administration is working “hand in glove with state and local officials to provide every assistance available,” she added.
