"Abolish FEMA and use a new app to coordinate the response to disasters. "

Do not ever depend on electronics during a disaster.

When TS Irene hit us, the power was out at 8am due to a power line down. At 11 am the landline phones stopped working. Then something happened to the cell towers. No cell service in the area for about three days. Landlines took a week to be restored.

Bulletin boards set up in various places were the primary way to receive information as well as people walking from door to door. All of this took a few days to organize.

we were just joking

people expect instant results from FEMA as if it was able to ramp up to full scale in a day, instead it takes time.

Sure before the storm the private sector kept your lights on, the grocery shelves filled and gas in the stations but did they expect really it back within a day of the storm?.

Sheeple have become spoiled.

The app reference was a joke about people wanting instant gratification
