Federal agencies have deployed nearly 22,000 employees to Florida and surrounding states to help with the response efforts following Hurricane Irma, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced Monday afternoon.

Ten times more non-FEMA employees were sent to Florida to carry out tasks associated with their agencies than agency employees.

 Department of Homeland Security agency has sent Florida residents 2.4 million meals and 1.4 million liters of water, according to a department press release.

FEMA has also prepared 5 million meals, 100,000 tarps, 2 million gallons of water, 47,000 blankets, and nearly 19,000 cots in nearby Alabama in case they are needed.

The Defense Logistics Agency is sending 50,000 gallons of unleaded gas and 50,000 gallons of diesel to an air base in Georgia. U.S. Northern Command has ordered the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and amphibious ships USS Iwo-Jima and USS New York to begin search and rescue operations off the Florida coast when weather conditions stabilize.



Trump hitting it out of the park on both hurricane responses.

I believe you curry good favor with these hurricanes. Heck, isn't that how Obama won his 2nd term with "the hug" a la Christie?

So, everything that Obama did good was because he was after political points and didn't care about people? And, Trump only cares about people and isn't after political points?


Interesting way to see the world.
