Concerns Over Emergency Response

The discussion highlights significant concerns regarding the response to recent storms, particularly the perceived lack of immediate help from agencies like FEMA. Individuals expressed frustration about the delay in response, noting that they experienced a conspicuous absence of support even several days after the storm. This gap prompted questioning of leadership and preparedness at the state level, especially with the expectations that emergency protocols should kick in post-disaster declaration. The conversation emphasizes the necessity for effective leadership and preemptive planning to adequately support first responders and affected communities.
