'The community of Uvalde ... should not have to encounter any difficulty in receiving the support needed to heal,' Abbott said.
The declaration will accelerate state and local assistance and suspend regulations that would "prevent, hinder, or delay necessary action,"The declaration also enables state agencies such as the Texas Division of Emergency Management to continue providing crisis response resources, including a temporary facility for community members who are seeking mental health support.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is also working with local entities to provide a "single access point" for services, per the release."The community of Uvalde ... should not have to encounter any difficulty in receiving the support needed to heal," Abbott said in a statement. "This disaster declaration frees up the many resources available through the State of Texas and local jurisdictions to continue providing much needed support to all who were impacted and work in the community unencumbered by regulations unnecessary to respond to this tragedy.
