President Donald J. Trump Approves District of Columbia Emergency Declaration
The White House ^ | 01/11/21

Posted on 01/11/2021 4:58:14 PM PST by Enlightened1

Today, President Donald J. Trump declared that an emergency exists in the District of Columbia and ordered Federal assistance to supplement the District’s response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from the 59th Presidential Inauguration from January 11 to January 24, 2021.

The President’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the District of Columbia.

Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Emergency protective measures, limited to direct Federal assistance, will be provided at 100 percent Federal funding.

Pete Gaynor, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security, named Thomas J. Fargione as the Federal Coordinating Officer for Federal recovery operations in the affected area.

“ The President’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by....Biden being inaugurated.”

Trump does have a sense of humor.

Mayor asked for the declaration in order to get more $$.

All pretextual, but at this point Trump has nothing to lose by giving the DEMs everything they put on his desk. You want it? Just ask. I’ll sign it.

The second agenda item of the Dims rolls into place - besides the instigating of the riots with Embeds in the “Trump supporters” - preventing planned demos against Biden on Inauguration Day from getting near the Inauguration ceremonies.

It may be prudent at this time to post on the Emergency Broadcast System checks and possible warnings to citizens regarding updates to devices such as cellphones. Perhaps link to or re-post the articles on same.

Both a blessing and a curse to see this happening.

I won’t be surprised by anything anymore - especially a natural disaster of epic proportions hitting us once the next admin stabs Israel in the back. Maybe before then?

Plenty of Republicans could join in that party also. That would impress BOTH sides of the isle and usher in a new era of American politics. (I know, I know, but we’re already in a science fiction movie)

The Biden inauguration would meet the definition of an emergency situation

True dat. Funny thing, I’ve been feeling the urge lately to watch the “Twilight Zone Marathon” that I taped several years ago. Wish I could find a VHS player. Not a recorder, just a player. Where to look, I wonder?
