Garbage. Vermont is a socialist state (Bernie Sanders) with a state income tax, taking wealth away from producers. Texas has no state income tax. The leftist source that published this trash equates spending with preparedness. That’s utter nonsense.

Based on disaster budget per capita. The ratings are as meaningless as Commie Core Math.

Exactly what kind of tsunami are they expecting that will reach that far up San Gabriel mountains?

Not much useful information here. And who edits this stuff?
“Foodstorage.com also poured through the data” Poured? If you are trying to use an esoteric word, be sure to get the spelling right.

If so, then why is ND ranked at a 10 and MN at only 2.7? We are taxed to the hilt in MN and I’m pretty sure ND has lower taxes.
We need your help to keep the lights on.

The numbers are meaningless. The leftists behind just pulled them out of thin air. Their goal was to make Texas look bad. That’s how I know this was all nonsense.

Yup. Strange how only California is at risk for Tsunamis despite the fact that any coast can get them.

Apparently the same kind of tsunami that doesn’t affect any other coastlines.
Here in Michigan I’m not at risk for any flooding and blizzards are basic winter weather.

I like how Hawaii was totally left out of the tsunami risk, despite just being hit by one a few years ago.

An annoying page telling us nothing.
All you need to know is that disaster preparation is *your* responsibility.
The state and federal governments cannot be relied on for anything.
Except maybe sending jack booted thugs around to confiscate your firearms, forceably evict you from your home and, in the event of a really big disaster, probably confiscate your emergency stores.
You won’t need then anyway after being dragged out of your former home and relocated (incarcerated) in a FEMA shelter.

This is claptrap. Texas is very well prepared.
For instance, after Ike, which was handled quite well, all of our water sources are required to have on site generators which will continue to pump water during emergences. This is a huge help in the case of a hurricane or other disaster.
Their data is faulty and their methods are faulty. Disregard it.

I’m unsure what language you speak, but poured is correct and it is commonly used in most areas of the US.

Blennos is right, Kirkwood - the correct usage is “pored” - concrete is poured, letters are pored over ... I mean no offense to you.

Yup. I think we would all be better off without FEMA. Its not that I see no role for government in disaster relief, I just don't think taxpayers should pay to rebuild private property again and again. Besides, the potential for disasters in the individual states are different.
Here in Michigan the risk of serious flooding is low and Blizzards are just winter weather. We could put a couple hundred million dollars aside to help pay for clearing the roads in the event of a major blizzard and be good to go.
Frankly I'd really rather have the national guard handle emergencies. They're pretty good at getting in, assessing damage, and starting relief and clean up efforts.
