Liberals saying Trump failed in PR are also then saying FEMA failed, were racist, hated Hispanics

[CrusaderFrank]

These were Trump's people on the ground. Obviously FEMA let 3,000 people die while they were in Puerto Rico. They are Trump's representatives after all.

I find this so disgusting but I'd love liberals on this board to explain what more FEMA could have done?

Good question
People did not die in the hurricane, they died from a lack of essential services........electricity, clean water, medical care and prescriptions, disease

FEMAs job is to identify where that need is and provide essential life saving services. They should have established temporary hospitals, water stations, portable generators in critical areas

Their people could not speak Spanish, they were not qualified for the jobs they filled

Paper Towels did not cut it

Why did the Mayor and Governor hold back deliveries and electricity

It's called corruption and politics.

Aid Is Getting to Puerto Rico. Distributing It Remains a ...

Oct 03, 2017 · Compounding the problems, some cities in Puerto Rico did not have enough trucks to haul their supplies home, if they had any available at all, …Two weeks after Hurricane Maria split apart Puerto Rico, basic aid is arriving in San Juan and reaching more remote towns and barrios aching for assistance. But some families say that they are still receiving only meager portions, and ill-equipped and overburdened local mayors have been left to figure out how to haul supplies from regional drop-off points to their storm-ravaged towns. The death toll from the hurricane rose to 34, Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said on Tuesday.

That is where FEMA needed to step in

Where roads and bridges were unpassable, helicopters were needed to ferry in critical food, water and medical supplies and evacuate those who were in danger of dying

We have military trucks capable of hauling critical supplies. If local areas lacked the trucks, we should have provided them

Puerto Rico did not have the helicopter fleet and vehicles......the US did

~~~~~~
I guess the Puerto Rican National Guard was on siesta, or vacation at the time.

They do what they are capable of doing

FEMA needs to step up to fill the void

What makes you think FEMA is capable of handling that? FEMA is supposed to bring them food, water and other supplies, AND ship over trucks and truck drivers across the world, and construction crews to fix the roads? Your expectations of FEMA are unrealistic and childish.

FEMA is only part of the answer to Disaster relief. It's important that Community Emergency Relief Teams need to be in place. This was the same failure in New Orleans by the former Mayor Nagin. The mayors of the cities in Puerto Rico especially Mayor Cruz of San Juan refused to do their jobs in creating the primary emergency plans and CERTS. No matter what FEMA was prepared to do, without Community Emergency Response Teams in place the failure would be apparent.

community has a role in disaster preparedness and response. Elements of Disasters and Their Impact on the Infrastructure: The potential effect of extreme emergencies and disasters on transportation; electrical service; telephone communication; availability of food, water, shelter and fuel; and emergency services.
In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, needs are often greater than professional emergency services personnel can provide. In these instances, CERTs become a vital link in the emergency service chain.
