Yes, I agree strongly with this. Under the Stafford Act, the feds can only provide what a governor specifically asks for. She did not ask for troops on the ground, portable shelter, power, sanitation, security, transport and housing of displaced people. She basically asked for debris removal and some money.
Even then, these camps sound superfluous and scary. If fedgov wanted to, they could put up a temporary tent city for 10,000 people with kitchens, heat, and sanitation on any suitable ground in under a week.
But permanent designated camps just waiting to be populated? There is no need. I think that if you have a tool you are tempted to use it, and detention facilities (humanitarian detention facilities, with barbed wire to keep miscreants out) just are not needed.
It's a bill in Congress, we can call and write, shine a big light on this.
Not in America, but perhaps in Amerika. Not in the USA, but maybe in the USSA.
Canary, coalmine. Gulags, police state.
