    The Biden Administration’s Preparation for HurricaneIan

    As Hurricane Ian approaches Florida, President Biden has directed the heads of Federal agencies across the government to surge all available resources to the region in preparation for potential impacts and to support response and recovery efforts in the aftermath of the storm.

    Yesterday, the President held calls with Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, Mayor Jane Castor of Tampa, Mayor Ken Welch of St. Petersburg, and Mayor Frank Hibbard of Clearwater to discuss preparations for the potential impacts from Hurricane Ian. In the last week, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell has held calls with Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, Governor Henry McMaster of South Carolina, and Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, and she visited Florida on Monday, September 26.

    On Saturday, September 24, President Biden approved an Emergency Declaration for the State of Florida within hours of receiving the request from Governor DeSantis, to support preparedness efforts and ensure resources are pre-positioned in advance of potential storm impacts.

    STORM SCOURGE: Ron DeSantis voted no on Hurricane Sandy relief in 2013


    [​IMG]
    With the impending doom of a disastrous storm on the horizon, DeSantis had no choice but to beg Biden for natural disaster federal assistance, even if it took him a while to muster up the courage to do so. But DeSantis wasn’t always so caring about hurricane relief, however.

    As a newly elected Florida congressman, Rep. Ron DeSantis voted against a bill to provide $9.7 billion in flood insurance aid for victims of Hurricane Sandy, the worst storm of 2012 that pummeled much of New York and New Jersey, inflicting nearly $70 billion in damage and killing 233 people across eight countries from the Caribbean to Canada.

    When asked if he’d vote differently if the hurricane hit his district, the Trump Afterbirth of a Florida governor replied, “If a hurricane came here, I would want any relief plan to be fiscally responsible,” he said. “ would not want to add extra things and say that because this is a vehicle that’s moving, let’s try to Christmas tree it out.”

  10. Your Ship has Come In"

    I personally hate boats, yachts. I never had a desire to be on a boat, own a boat, or drive a boat.
    Similar thing for fishing....I never had a desire to fish for fish anywhere in the world.
    Similar thing for water-front property....a lot of people fantasize, dream, about living, having a house, next to water....an ocean beach, or lake, or river or dam...I could care less about that view.
