I would think they are just dusting off the plans that were first developed in about 1950 and regularly updated.

CDC removed number of tested and deaths from their website between yesterday and today. They also cancelled a scheduled briefing at the last minute. Not good signs.

"To me this is another indication that the president and the White House are finally aware of the gravity of the situation," said Michael Coen, who was FEMA chief of staff during the Obama administration

"Finally", more politics seeping into this by Democrats.

No this has been modernized.

We have large underground storage facilities laden with survival goodies. The question is, will the government distribute that to us unwashed masses?

Hopefully POTUS knows that not matter what he does and no matter what happens, he will face a chorus of scathing criticism.

He'll now be accused of either politically weaponizing FEMA, using FEMA for his own political advantage, or needlessly scaring people that an emergency is imminent.

With Democrats it's damned if you do damned if you don't.
