KSM managed to incinerate a couple thousand out of NYC’s millions and plotted for that to kill thousands more. We haven’t tried him in 22 years. So why do anything to those who literally decimated a town of 13,000.
Same pages out of the dem playbook.
Global Warming causes incompetence.
Sure, he knows, it was a Bolshekrat.
It can be argued there is no one to blame.....
So why do they spend millions of tax dollars on Emergency Mgmt Centers, fire men and equipment, EMS and police systems, and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
Time to face facts. It was a total black swan event.
Black swan...?
If we ever get the truth, I’ll bet we will find that the cause was neither rare nor unpredictable.
No question.
Isn’t this stunning? The mayor doesn’t even know who is in charge at the emergency center?
Don’t all cities and towns and counties and states, have emergency plans, and designated people in charge if there is an emergency?
Ask the voters in San FranSicko. That's your answer.
Why do you think they want to legalize pot?
I say with with no offense intended to the few good DMVs out there.
Georgetown, DE.....that place would give Chik-fil-A a run for their money with speed, efficiency, courteousness, and overall great experience.
Well, you seem to be confusing cause with effect.
As a long time trained disaster volunteer I can provide testimony to the disaster effect.
Although disasters are many, they are diverse and quite unequal in damages. Disaster Services can be planned in considerable detail but until a team arrives on site, plans are just plans. Remedial disaster reaction must first be determined by trained people who can make instant evaluations. Those initial evaluations can and will be revised as precise knowledge is gained over time.
You mentioned several different responders. There are several other kinds of responders depending on the specific needs. The numbers and deployment must be determined and then put to work.
But I would suspect that Florida disaster planners on say Sunday and Monday called the various electric power companies to the North to alert them for readiness. By Yesterday, they were on the interstate headed to a staging area (s) in Georgia. They are quite visible because they generally consist of a complement of ten crews/trucks.
A separate and rather strange disaster job is sourcing and managing rental cars and vans for use of those flying in from all over.
Those working to mitigate the destruction do not cause a 120 mph wind hurricane nor 7 inches of flooding rain. They do not cause an earthquake nor a wild fire. They are in disaster standby mode doing their regular workaday jobs until called.
Its a government jobs program, complete with a guuaranteed retirement.
The head of emergency management was a political hack who did nothing. When was the last disaster drill on Maui to determine if the system worked and how to fix problems?
I recall many years ago a United Airlines plane crashed at SiouxCity, IA. The director of emergency management, who I knew, had prepared the community for major disasters and less than a year before had conducted a disaster drill for a plane crash at the Sioux City airport. Coordinating a disaster response in Sioux City was daunting as the area encompasses three states with differing emergency radio systems and emergency protocols. The plan was developed, tested and problems were fixed. I would say that no place in the country was better prepared for that plane crash than Sioux City, IA and many lives were saved as a result. It is obvious that the emergency management system on Maui was ill prepared for any disaster.
That about sums it up.....I give you Biden exiting Kabul.
