    These people are ignorant!! Not everyone has electricity and phone service. Those with the greatest need do not have the ability to call

    You’re assuming they still have their phones and you’re assuming that they’re charged that’s insane

      This is the most obvious response to the weak, pathetic response by both local officials and FEMA. As far as that goes, I wonder how those without internet access will even see these "updates". I can because I self-evacuated from Buncombe County. A better plan would be that county-city officials print lists of where resources/aid can be found in the county, and then these lists in all sorts of public places (grocery stores, gas stations, bus stops, banks, etc). Just the facts, not these bureaucrats' maudlin feelings of "solidarity".
      I can say that it is obvious that not one of the agencies ever rehearsed beforehand best practices on how to respond to such natural disasters. Every year these bureaucrats receive funds and who know how they spend it. But certainly not on preparedness!!

      Hopefully they have a power pack that is solar, or a generator. This is stupid though they should assume 85% to 90% won't have power fo😮r their phone

    Save water? People do not have water nor a house with a toilet 🚽, or a two liter bottle to put into non-existent toilet, in a non-existent home, and no electricity to run well pump! Let alone charge their phones, no internet? Good grief!

    The Trump administration diverted funds from various government agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to pay for border wall construction. The U.S.-Mexico southern border is 1,954 miles. Only 450 miles of border fencing was built and Mexico did not pay for it. The national debt increased 40.43%.

      If it had gotten finished and not fought every step of the way by democrats we would not be funding all the migrants.The cost of wall is fraction.Then democrats let unfinished material lay instead of installing and sold cheap.Cant fix stupid.
