U.S. officials say 450,000 in Texas likely to seek disaster aid | Reuters

'Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long said more than 450,000 people were expected to seek disaster assistance due to flooding after Harvey made landfall during the weekend before weakening to tropical storm status. '

'"Right now we are focused on rescue operations and will move into recovery operations later in the week," she said. '

'WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. emergency management officials said on Monday they were expediting federal resources to Texas to help with rescue efforts after Hurricane Harvey swamped coastal areas of the state and forced 30,000 people to seek refuge in temporary shelters. '

'Brock said authorities were anticipating that some 30,000 people would be placed in temporary shelters due to the flooding. '

'He said FEMA was in the process of deploying life-saving commodities while the Army Corps of Engineers was helping work to restore power and other federal authorities were involved in ensuring communications interoperability between federal, state and local officials. '
