How republican plans would make disasters worse

[rightwinger]

Yawns. Unless you can explain how the existence of the agency makes storms less stormy then no it won't make them worse. As for disasters, first responders, volunteers and charities do all the heavy-lifting during the death toll phase, not Washington bureaucrats who wear their over-priced weather bro outfits to work instead of their coat and tie.

FEMA helps with the recovery.
Rebuilding infrastructure, providing aid to affected people and communities.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Biden/Harris blew FEMA money on illegals and then blame Trump there being a lack of funding in FEMA. You sheeple believe them. Pure stupidity and ignorance.

Conspiracy theory alert.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

One thing I am not hearing is how these ideas will jelp disaster responses.. Perhaps there are no benefits.
Maybe MTG will tweak the weather to ensure that there are no disasters,?

Republicans are against madness like this:

 

[SweetTea]

Conspiracy theory alert.

In 2022, Biden’s press secretary said they used FEMA money for migrants. Maybe you should do some research. Oops.

Harris in 2022 when asked about help for migrants :

“FEMA Regional Administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate — to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies," Jean-Pierre told reporters at the time.”

“Funding is also available through FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter program to eligible local governments and not-for-profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants,”

Coordinating the recovery. They contract out most of that work.

 

[Rawley]

Conspiracy theory alert.

FEMA has spent over a billion dollars on illegals. Deal with it.

are you one of those paid liberals?

Yes, a filthy commie shill. Just like IM2 and the fake Indian.

Project 2025 calls for break up of nation's top weather and climate service

Project 2025 is calling for the breaking up of the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA). Monica Medina, former Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, joins Morning Joe to discuss as Hurricane Milton is set to hit Florida.

www.msnbc.com

This is a chilling warnimg of things to come. Why would you scale back on forecasting ?It makes no sense. Are they expecting Mexico to give them a call when things get hot ? Is being forewarned saving lives as Milton comes visiting.

The cruellest twist is the refusal of federal aid to states in distress..It will bankrupt states with refular disasters. That is most of them.Losing the federal insurance scheme would also make some places uninhabitable and lead to less resiliant rebuilding.

At the heart of this is the GOP luddite attitude to climate change. It runs right thru their crazy refoms.. Its time for them to grow up and join the struggle.

This GOP craziness will see millions die.

/----/ The only ones following Project 2025 are you Libtard Moonbats. The rest of us just laugh it off as a couple of kooks. It was written by far right extremists. And you libtrards are quick to remind us that Trump is not a conservative.

After weeks of criticism, Project 2025’s director, Paul Dans, stepped down in July. The Trump campaign said the project’s demise “would be greatly welcomed.”
The extremist Mandate for Leadership, dubbed “Project 2025: Presidential Transition Project,” is a 900-page document published by the Heritage Foundation and meant to serve as a road map for a far-right presidential administration. While its policy proposals are sweeping and would affect nearly every facet of American life, its overarching goal is clear: to lay out an authoritarian playbook that would destroy the system of checks and balances our forefathers designed when they sought freedom and popular sovereignty almost 250 years ago. In dissolving the American idea, the plan’s extremist policies would give far-right politicians, judges, and corporations more control over Americans’ lives.

So?

So?

So FEMA doesn't actually do anything direct, they fund and coordinate.

I worked for DoD for 40 years.
We produced very little, most was provided by Defense Contractors.

I imagine FEMA is much the same with Contractors providing much of the on-site services

DoD's material comes from contractors, the actual purpose of the DOD is done by Government Military employees.

Which could be handled just as easily by the States themselves, funded by the federal government.

Project 2025 is a Deep State plan, not a Trump plan.

Seems only the Democrats have a hard copy of it.

They showed it off during their convention.

If you're going to spread lies do it in the conspiracy section.

the plan is to "privatize" the weather service (and it's considerable assets" to one or several of the silicon valley trumpmasters. probably musk.

then the new weather corp can sell the same information (or maybe sccuracy depends on "premium" membership" ) to subscribers (including broadcast stations, and government agencies) for profit.

Some disasters are bigger than the states can handle.They also involve multiple states.
What is a state like Florida supposed to do when they have two major hurricanes in a matter of weeks?
That is why we need FEMA

FEMA is needed as a funding agency, interagency coordination, and a storage depot for common equipment. It shouldn't be leading anything. '

Why not have an agency with the capabilities, experience and resources to handle major national disasters?

licensing of commerce is "necessary and proper" function of government since the tower of babel failed code inspection.

Duplication of effort, lack of knowledge of the area in question, Federal level arrogance conflicts with the locals.
