Presidential Message on National Preparedness Month
WhiteHouse.gov ^ | September 2, 2025 | President Donald J Trump

Posted on 10/06/2025 12:18:02 PM PDT by ransomnote

This National Preparedness Month, my Administration recommits to ensuring that every American community has the resources and support they need and deserve, so that when disaster strikes, our State and Federal governments are prepared—and our citizens are safe and secure.

Tragically, over the last year, natural disasters have ravaged nearly every region of our country. In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Erin, catastrophic flooding in Texas, and blazing fires in California, countless families have borne power outages, severe structural damage, unthinkable injuries, and death.  I send my thoughts and prayers to the families of those who have lost loved ones, and to all those who have been displaced and subjected to suffering.  To every unsung hero who has helped with recovery efforts, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

These tragedies remind us of the importance of disaster preparedness and having a plan in place before crisis strikes.  My Administration encourages every citizen to sign up for alerts on their mobile devices, set aside savings for emergencies, prepare a disaster supply kit, and speak with their children on how to best respond to emergencies.

Under the previous administration, in the face of tragedy, my predecessor outrageously allocated Federal resources on the basis of political ideology and diverted disaster response funds to illegal immigrants and left-wing Government programs.  Meanwhile, when wildfires erupted in California earlier this year, State leaders made extremely poor decisions that endangered the lives of the citizens they took an oath to serve.  In recent months and years, these so-called leaders have prioritized the Green New Scam agenda and far-left “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” ideology, and have fired first responders for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine.  As a result, California was left totally unprepared.  Public responders were unable to tame the blaze because of dry hydrants, empty reservoirs, and inadequate water infrastructure.  At least 30 people died, while survivors have been left with hundreds of billions of dollars in damages.

Following 4 years of weak disaster response, the American people now have a Government that actively responds to their needs in times of crisis and disaster.  In the first week of my term, I established a Task Force to assess the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s ability to address disasters.  To avert the effects of harmful State and local policies, I signed an Executive Order to expedite response and recovery efforts to the people of California, including the largest wildfire hazardous waste cleanup in the history of the Environmental Protection Agency.

This month, we recommit to ensuring every American community is fully prepared when disaster strikes.  We pledge to work alongside State and local leaders to prepare for the needs of our citizens—and we express our unending thanks to every heroic first responder who embodies the strength and determination of the American spirit.

ransomnote: I moved the image at the foot of Trump's announcement to the top of this page because I like the spirit of the flag to the far left - 1776. We handled that 'national emergency' and we'll handle whatever the Deep State wants to do. Prayers up for our President, our nation. All glory to God for blessing us with the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS:

Many Deep Staters are facing hearings in DC for their actions going all the way back through prior administrations (see schedules for House and Senate Oversight hearings regarding Epstein and the DOJ below.)

With the Deep State exposure escalating, as information shared by Devin Nunes reaches Congressional oversight hearings this week, and False Flags ripening on the vine, it's good to have prepared for supply chain disruptions, power outages (cyber attacks) etc. Water is important to store if attacks on key power lines (think power grid equivalents of Nordstream) take us offline for a bit.

House Oversight Committee - Epstein

Comer's schedule for testimony before Comer's House Oversight Committee includes all Attorney Generals as far back as Bush's term when Epstein was originally prosecuted:

Senate Oversight of the Department of Justice

The Senate Judiciary Committee's October 7, 2025, 9 AM hearing will focus on oversight of the Department of Justice and is scheduled to take place in Hart Senate Office Building Room 216.

While the official agenda confirms the topic and time, specific attendee details beyond committee members are not yet publicly listed. Typically, such oversight hearings include the Attorney General or other senior DOJ officials as witnesses. The committee is chaired by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), with Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) serving as Ranking Member. Members such as Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and others from both parties are expected to participate.

The Senate Judiciary Committee Chair, currently Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), sets the itinerary and agenda for committee meetings and hearings. As of the 119th Congress (2025–2027), the Chair has authority over scheduling, topic selection, and witness invitations for all committee proceedings, including the October 7, 2025, oversight hearing on the Department of Justice.

We prep for ourselves every winter.

It’s a guarantee that we’re going to lose power during the winter, and regularly during the summer, too.

We have oil, propane, a supply of wood for the wood stove, a generator, and watch the weather and make sure the gas cans and cars are full and the grocery shopping is done.

Anyone who doesn’t plan ahead more than the next meal is a fool. And based on what I’ve seen in both NYS and here, there are plenty, although there is far less here in NH.

It is possible to be prepared and still lose everything and need help.

This does not excuse you from making preparations for emergencies. Remember that waiting on the government could get you killed. You and your neighbors are the first line of defense. No matter how fast the government can get there, it will still take some time.
