    how many states have fully-staffed and funded equivalents ready to deploy on a moment’s notice to a large-scale emergency? probably count 'em all on one hand, while simultaneously giving lord diaper the bird.

    ‘federal’ assistance will be there in time for hurricane season.

      Who is going to hand out that federal assistance, my guess it goes to the rich instead of the needy. Oligarchs will take it all.

      I assume all states have a state level Emergency Management Agency - they must, right? Right?

      It’s the funding that’s the hard part. Just like any other insurance type of scheme, there will be incidents too big for the individuals to manage, which is hey we pool our funds to better handle them. I’m sure there are local emergencies they’re ready for, but what moron really thinks their state is prepared to handle a major hurricane, for example
