Not at all. It is. In the form of money and material, buut not in the form of directing evacuation, recovery and relief. The governor is holding onto the responsibility to direct evacuation, recovery and relief.
Okay, so this particular sentence:
"I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected local governments, and that supplementary Federal assistance is necessary to save lives, protect property, public health, and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a disaster. I am specifically requesting emergency protective measures, direct Federal Assistance,..."
This sentence specifically asks for help to save lives.
Are you saying she was just not clear enough in what kind of help to save lives? That it was still just asking for money to save lives?
Just trying to get this.....
