I was an Administrator in EMS for years. Federal funding grants is what a lot of small community EMS and Fire depend on to help maintain their ability to stay volunteer. It’s no wonder they still think FEMA is to be defended. Then poop hits the fan and the community find out different. Politicians keep erasing long term memory. Some of us will never forget.

When my son’s were just out of high school, I thought the National Guard would be good for them until I learned they were no longer only deploying to help in local disasters, but were being sent to fight undeclared wars overseas. I did NOT recommend they join.

Lack of proactive positive management. At this time, the “Lame Duck” laisse-faire attitude, toooo slow tooo late, of action by government to supply immediate dire need. And the fact that the population in need, does not realize what the Federal Government can actually do. The government only wants to throw money very s l o w l y at peoples problems. In my own experience with FEMA was only 10 days to 2 weeks after the dire need medical, food, and shelter were met by local, religious and state entities.

She is 100% right about the attitude of the EMA/EMS/LEO organizations. The answers to government lie in the Constitution. All the tools and legal authority We need to fix what We allowed is there. We just need to apply it.

So, you are in favor of Trump becoming a dictator? If you vote GOP and support GOPers, then you aren't in favor of the US Constitution.

[@deborahmulloy3580]

@tangle 70 Yes dear ,I agree with you exactly Except, my opinion only, The United States Corporation has (behind the scenes) been a POWER GRAB of FEDERAL POWER and in collusion with DAVOS MEETINGS with other Countries around the world. At this point our Federal Gov. is prepared to roll out The U.N. along with N.W.O. and the W.H.O. (my opinion only) Many States have been captured, as in our Media, Health Organizations, Local and Counties Gov. With as we see little regard for our Constitution. That is why it is so in our face, the abuse and disreguard for our Constitution. Since this Administration came into office, Biden dictated law with no regard for our Constitution

I've challenged our county sherriff about the militarization of his force. The answer is for citizens to push back hard on police, and emergency response people. They are supposed to civil servants not military servants.

Sometimes, not often at all, I think the draft was a good thing. It forced young men to learn how things work.

It's par for the course for many of those who rise through Rescue and EMS to develop ego and control problems. I was in EMS for years, and the head cases I met who climbed the ladders in it, and in Fire, was crazy. Normally these are under-educated folks who are only really educated in the specific roles they may encounter... and that is education on the most surface level.

As a Kentuckian for all 43 of my years, I wish I could say we are a libertarian state, but that’s not quite the case. Many voters here still believe that the republicans they vote in are for “small government”. Outside of his district, Thomas Massie isn’t well known, even though he’s a hero to liberty minded people across our country. Because he doesn’t play partisan politics, he’s not often (if at all) featured on Fox News which makes him an unknown. We have the potential in the Bluegrass State for a libertarian revolution, but not without a mass education of the public to awaken their eyes to the evil being perpetrated by all “sides” of government.

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

Don't be fooled - I asked him when I saw him in Louisville about this unmitigated disaster that is the war on drugs - I told him what Gatewood Galbreath had told me 25 yrs ago - "Kentucky could legalize gaming and marijuana - we could be proactive or we'll be 20 yrs down the road and while every other state around us has done this - we'll still be sucking hind tit" He didn't want anything to do with answering my questions - When I pointed out the hypocrisy of how the Bourbon industry is embraced he shot me a mean look and went the other way - He's a politician - pure and simple - By the way I'm 55 and I've been telling people about Mitch ( he and Biden have been best friends for over 30yrs) for as long as i can remember - but .....

The addition of the Federal layer of relief management provides no additional relief.

[@nowmindfulheart]

It seems so obvious what is missing in federal disaster management: competent logistical organizers to help volunteers coordinate their efforts expeditiously. At the organizational level there is probably a military-like boilerplate that can be trained to implement by competent leaders with not power-hungry egos.

I am an elected Township Supervisor, and during the Covid about 1 1/2 years, our township was allocated a very small amount of money that could be had by applying for a refund of eligible items purchased during two eligible time periods. Fill out the online forms, submit the receipts and receive a check. There were two rounds of this. For the few hundred dollars available for reimbursement, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to apply online, and how to activate some kind of Federal number for funds receipt. We received the first small amount. But the second amount they declined. It was the same items which I purchased in the new eligible period, etc. They were not helpful at showing me what additional hoops to fulfill to get the second amount of money. I did not understand what additional issues there were. After a few months, the Illinois grant program closed up shop and it was over. This Illinois Covid grant program was a farce.

[@petermccuskey1832]

Great presentation. It tracks a history that can be attested to.

[@RebDalmas]

Towns have to stop sending their labor money out to these agencies. Towns have to start taking care of themselves and decentralize. These huge bureaucracies that were not here in the seventies and eighties had towns that had very low rates of crime. I know in my town, in the eighties, we have two cops and a tiny fire department. We had less crime, Today we have these HUGE police departments and fore departments and more drugs and more crime. How does any of this make sense? Time to come back down to earth and take care of our towns. We could build our own small nuclear energy generators, and grow a lot more of our own food. That is how it used to be, and we had less crime. I am sure those benefitting from our enslavement to these systems will promulgate a different narrative. And all those dependent on the jobs running this centralization system will defend it despite seeing their neighbors struggle, that is compartmentalization at its best.

[@mikeschnobrich1807]

The elephant in the room you aren't addressing is most communities refuse to pay the taxes necessary to be prepared for disasters.

[@RebDalmas]

@@mikeschnobrich1807 What is insurance? And what are taxes that go to the federal government? Are you saying town's peoples should stop paying homeowners insurance, and all taxes ( actually) and generate their own and account for disasters? Income and real estate taxes are already a scam - just look at the HUGE police and fire stations. It would probably be a good idea, give control back to the communities. We would probably build better, and manage our homes better because at the end of the day, we would be paying for whatever negligence we created. That would all be decentralization. We also have to change the money system. Time to pay everyone the same, because no doctor or engineer, or politician can do anything without the roads built of earth's freely give resources and the hands of many generations of men. We would find more peace and creativity and real no-harm innovation. It would being heaven to earth. Time to end top down hierarchies.

[@cosmiccharlie8294]

The flooding in Appalachia was completely predictable given the rainfall upstream of the affected areas. The National Weather Service is fairly good a forecasting rainfall so I wonder why evacuation orders were not issued for these areas? Also the dams and reservoirs upstream should have been releasing water well in advance of the storms arrival to make room for the flood waters. This needs to be looked into. I would bet anyone who tries will be hindered from getting this information. Storm water management is a science and FEMA sits at the top of it.

[@jeffreyhaynes5722]

You are asking a very good question, but the answer is complicated. A good timeline is needed .From what I’ve read the danger of this storm was broadcast to people in Western North Carolina as early as 24 October. In Buncombe County, which is where Asheville is, there were several warnings put out up through the 26th in the evening. I think evacuation orders were given for people in flood areas on the 26th. Rain had already been falling from another storm and flood waters were already rising before Helene . Some people may have already been trapped before the hurricane arrived Communication is difficult in the mountains of North Carolina cell phone signals do not carry well there. Combine this with the toughness of these people in the belief that they can withstand anything there’s a certain hesitancy in these people to leave. I don’t think we should play a blame game on the warning nor preparedness for this event. A non-political committee should study this event and recommend Solutions for warning, people.

Trump’s policies failed in the Covid outbreak. He had his chance while Trump was president. He never had a cabinet. Think about that he couldn’t even organize his own presidential cabinet without having to fire everybody two or three times so how do you expect him to run a disaster relief. The reason or one of the reasons disaster relief is controlled by the government is because people at the local level would discriminate against certain people if left on their own.
