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.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency included Camp Mystic in a "Special Flood Hazard Area" in its National Flood Insurance map for Kerr County, Texas, in 2011.

Federal regulators removed dozens of Camp Mystic buildings from a 100-year flood map as the camp looked to expand.

President Donald Trump was expected to arrive in Kerr County, Texas, Friday afternoon, one week after the area was struck by catastrophic flooding.

Forecasters warn that slow-moving storms could bring heavy downpours to already saturated areas, increasing the risk of flash flooding.

The risk of the catastrophic flooding that struck Texas Hill Country as people slept on July 4 and left at least 120 dead was potentially underestimated by federal authorities, according to an ABC News analysis of Federal Emergency Management Agency data, satellite imagery and risk modeling.

As Trump visits Texas to see the impact of last week’s deadly flash floods, the White House has backed away from plans to abolish FEMA, officials said.

On Thursday, the Texas House and Senate announced the creation of committees on disaster preparedness and flooding.
