July 9 (Reuters) - U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called on Wednesday for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to be eliminated in its current form, even as the disaster-relief agency deployed specialists and supplies to Texas to help respond to devastating floods.

P resident Donald Trump bristled at questions critical of the government’s response to deadly flooding during a visit to Texas Friday, and praised the Federal Emergency Management Agency that he had floated shutting down just last month.

Three years after the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon Fire tore through northern New Mexico, destroying nearly a thousand structures and contaminating Las Vegas’ water supply, frustration is mounting among victims.

Asked shortly after the disaster whether he still intended to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency, President Trump said it wasn’t the right time to talk about it.
