(5,107 posts)Given no leadership understanding of the real mission (anticipating and preparing for disasters and helping people in urgent need in a timely manner) and no sense of urgency or focus, saying FEMA is coming will be meaningless and a joke. And with probably the best staffers fired or leaving in disgust and budget cuts....a mere shell of what it could be for the country.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
