I looked up several emergencies and the normal time frame is 0-1 days for emergency declaration (after Governor declaration) and aid should have started getting to Texas by the 15th. Am I missing something here why was the response so much slower then normal and why hasn’t any media organization picked it up? Could anyone point to some aid that might have been received sooner then the 18th as that is the only mention I could find.

Biden timeframe:

Declaration 2 days after Governor, aid four days later

Disasters I looked up:

Katrina

Sandy

Tornado Oklahoma 2013

Earthquake Puerto Rico 2019 – 2020
