CNN spoke to five former heads of FEMA from every administration since Hurricane Katrina, who echoed concerns from current employees that recent changes could leave FEMA poorly equipped for dealing with disasters.

Decentralizing FEMA is ridiculous. One centralized agency would have the expertise, resources and experience that 50 state-run agencies would not. It would also be much less costly in avoiding duplication. Trump and the MAGA morons just like to make drastic changes to get attention. Trump is a baby.

I worked in preparedness in multi levels. Only 1 year after 9/11, Dubya shut down all the federal training funding to teach doctors to recognize smallpox, anthrax, tularimia.

We really won’t know whether FEMA will meet its statutory obligations until or unless it’s kills more Americans in the next disaster than it did in the Texas Hill County floods.

I’m watching Pamela‘s broadcast this morning, MSNBC has gotten useless. But a man in a video just reminded me that I remember seeing on TV bodies floating in the water in New Orleans. With 🍊 GOP in charge, we will never be prepared. Budget cuts since Reagan.

The death of millions of Americans would be welcome news to Trump. It would mean he can blame states for the disasters and thus seize control. Stop whistling that useless tune as you walk past the graveyard of democracy.

Isn't that the plan? To redirect as much money out of programs that help most Americans into programs that help Trump consolidate power and turn the country into an autocracy?

What can we do when leadership is against just about everything we believe in? At least let’s get out on Labor Day to show our disapproval!
