We already knew what to do and certainly didn't need to watch the assclowns government "leaders" in Red Stick and New Orleans to learn what not to do.
Crying, flapping our arms, and bumping into walls has never been part of Texas' emergency plan
You are right. I loved it how the governor already declared a state of emergency, and as per the drill, they're getting all the people out of Galveston.
The USDA has already started prepositioning people to assist FEMA...they have an Area Management team and two type 1 teams heading to TX, stationing in Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, getting as preset as they can this early (these are members of the ICS, which is normally used to fight wildland fires, but also responds to all sorts of other emergencies.)
