During times of disasters, both Senators (Besides appealing for declarations) assist in communications with the Health and Human Secretary and Attorney General to assist Federal efforts in maintaining the safety of communities once the Feds declare a SOE, Senators are constantly in contact with FEMA personnel, Senators meet face-to-face with FEMA personnel in the affected areas, Senators aide in developing strategies with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide outreach efforts to veterans (Some are old and incapacitated), they meet with Generals/Colonels commanders concerning military bases/annexes, they further survey the damage in real-time, work the Transitional Sheltering Assistance, meet with State leaders that involves a lot of aspects such as infrastructure, education, utilities, and a bunch of other actions. This has always been done by Representatives whether it's a hurricane, flooding, tornado, etc... until the situation is resolved.

To condense this, Senators are to fact find as much as possible which entails surveying the situation (This disaster is large), not fleeing or adhering to previous personal plans that involve going to a tropical resort. Cruz is a public servant, not a noble or aristocrat and his ass should be assisting in disaster relief, especially since the Senate is not in session. The wishy-washy voters are going to send a message, not just to Cruz, but the entire Party and hypocrites (If this were a democrat, people in this echo chamber would be going bonkers).

Wow. Good to know. Really.

It wouls also be a REALLY Good thing the media, politicians, and other hateful people doesn’t use this and other disasters to try to undermine efforts to ACTUALLY HELP.

Makes me very Glad he flew back to help since he has so much power and responsibility to get this fixed. And so few are taking responsibility. Maybe he can really be a huge help. He strikes me as someone who would do his best on this.
