Disasters don’t care about politics, but politics can choose to care about disasters. Communities should want to be more resilient - having the ability to bounce back after a disaster - and rely less on federal aid. Republican states actually already get more FEMA aid.

Who gets more disaster aid? Republican states. Experts explain that and more about FEMA
Federal disaster aid is nearly everywhere. About 94% of Americans live in a county that has gotten Federal Emergency Management Agency climate disaster financial help since 2011.

In Texas, effective alerts may be even more important than in other places. A RAND Corporation study shows Texans are more likely to opt out of emergency alerts than other states. Effective alerts not only help people make decisions, but they can prevent opt-outs.
