I read this morning that she's also skipping all the logistics meetings with responders. So if you don't bother to attend critical meetings to learn what is going on, you should shut up.
It not just learning about what's going on, it's also about letting FEMA know where and when and what you want as far as food, water, medicine etc. Every burg above a few thousand folks has a disaster response plan. And it's all about getting immediate aid to people (Again food, water, medical, shelter). All that is done at the local level, with assistance from state, county, and local assets along with volunteer agencies.
If you are not at those meetings working with everyone on who's doing what and have your list of priorities, FROM YOUR DISASTER PLAN, because your people are DOING THEIR *expletive deleted*ing JOBS and letting you know where help is needed, then FEMA can't you the help you need.
FEMA and feds are not mind readers, you have to tell what you want and where you want it. If you can't and don't do that, then you fail and people die.
