The mayor of CARE and the director of the emergency department admitted on Thursday during a legislative hearing that they were asleep when it became clear for the first time that a major event in the floods was revealing.

Kiir Sharif Larry Leitha and Thomas Province admitted that they were asleep as a crisis.

Lieutenant Dan Patrick expressed his frustration.

Patrick said, as the audience applauds: “I do not refer to a finger, nor blame you, because I just want to restrict the record. Everyone here was working on the donkey, and I was not anywhere you can find.”

Thomas said on the morning of July 4, his wife woke up for the first time at about 5:30 am, and about two hours after the emergency rescue operations, and soon went to the Sharif office.

He said: “There was no clear flood on my engine to the office, but soon it became clear that the situation was rising.”

In another testimony, local officials said they needed, but they were lacking in an updated warning system, when the clear floods swept the homes and vehicles and left families to beg to rescue the roofs of their homes earlier this month.

On Thursday, others who witnessed an audience of hundreds of people – some of whom were wearing green strips on the anniversary of the victims – called for urgent improvements to better flood warnings and flooding.

Kelly said that the residents have no warning from the imminent weather disaster until it was too late.

“We need stronger contacts and a better wide range in order to be able to communicate better,” he said, adding that the bad cell service did not help those along the river. “What we tried on July 4 was surprising, violent and overwhelming.”

La Petha presented a timetable for the events for the legislators, and said that the respondents in emergency situations realized that they had a “comprehensive surface” position early at 3:30 am, when the missionaries received a call from a family who was triggered on their roof to request the evacuation of the air.

Representative Ann Johnson, a democratic of Houston, asked LaTha if the province should have a protocol in force when three senior boycott officials are not available during the state of emergency.

“Yes, my lady, we can look at this real difficult thing,” said Laitha. “Yes, I can look and maybe they can contact me early.”

The session comes at a time when the authorities began to launch records and sound – including 911 calls – that provided new glimpses of the rising danger and chaos in the early hours of the July Fourth holiday. They include panic and confused messages from the residents who fell in the trees, as well as families who escape with children from homes that infiltrate the knees.

“People die”, one of the women told the 911 operators in the call records issued by the nearby Kendall province. She says she had a young relative in a church camp in Kiir County, who was separated with his colleagues in the separation due to high water.
