Hey, don't blame the MSM for not printing or airing citations from this link you've found.
Why, they probably don't even have Internet connection in the puddle they're standing in.
This is from Ascencion Parish:
EMERGENCY EXERCISES
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires that parishes participating in the Emergency Management and Preparedness Grant Program conduct annual exercises to test the functions of the office. Exercises are conducted annually on a variety of topics such as man-made as well as natural disasters to assist emergency preparedness responders and support personnel to better understand their functions and responsibilities should an actual event threaten Ascension Parish.
This office also participates in statewide Hurricane Preparedness Exercises conducted by the Louisiana Office of Emergency Preparedness.
Grants?
