Hurricanes, Floods, Wildfires, and Tornado Season Without FEMA

It is MORE than forecasting it is the people coordinating the warnings like the ones missing in Kerrville because of the cuts.

I read a whole book on the disaster.

 

It’s unfortunate but the reality is it takes a huge tragedy like this to create the reaction to do something. Prior to this tragedy, there were several moments in time where decisions could have led to actions that would have prevented this. Unfortunately, there was a lack of urgency and those decisions made were wrong and actually increased the odds for this to occur. It all started with poor decisions to build some cabins right in the river flood zone based on an idea that the odds of a flood were 1%. All that means is a flood was inevitable and then all you have is hope the camp wasn’t in use when it would happen. This is a hard lesson learned now that wasn’t learned from the tragedy before. It really is tremendously sad but this is the fallacy of man.

we don’t believe you

 

The best time to politicize a disaster is as soon as it happens. Several studies have shown that it is difficult to get legislative fixes at any level of government if much time at all passes. Of course, this brings up another problem with disaster governance: it is almost always reactive and responsive to a disaster that has already happened. It is damn near impossible to get any kind of fix that gives responders and relief agencies the tools for future disasters.

And while we are talking about books, here's a good, short one that every elected official should read (even though the authors use the term natural disasters):

We are a Country with some a small attention span, just like any other crisis this will slowly fade from the news cycle and will be replaced by something else. There were so many failures, building those cabins way to close to the river, the one older gut who was killed had been talking about flooding for years,there were talks to do something better with the alert system. All talk about the "what if" and eventually the "what if" happened and it ended in tragedy, I can't imagine the families dealing with having their children killed like this or the husband who lost his wife, the wife who lost a husband...............I dont know if anything would have changed the outcome, but I guarantee a lot of folks who lost loved ones will ponder that for the rest of their lives. To many times, communities, companies and even taxpayers don't want to pay for something until something like this happens........its just sad beyond belief

Video of Kerrville people denying $10.5m in funding from Biden to set up alarm system.

Obama had also allocated money for it, and these MORONS denied it because they didn't like that it came from Democrats.

Well, now that a flood happened, they basically KILLED CHILDREN with their ignorance.
