#Trump fires head of #FEMA right before #hurricane season
Cameron Hamilton, the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was pushed out of the job on Thurs, acc/to several people familiar w/his departure. His ouster came 1 day after he told members of #Congress that FEMA — which Trump has suggested should be disbanded — was vital to communities “in their greatest times of need” & should not be eliminated.

After assessing the damage, it became clear that clothing was one of the biggest needs.
Many people returned to find their wardrobes ruined, having escaped with barely the clothes on their backs.

Buyer’s remorse?
Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee of Arkansas seeks routine federal assistance from FEMA but is told to beat feet.
Look, if the GOP wants to make changes to FEMA policy, sure, let’s discuss and implement a transition plan. But the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief is taking the bull-in-a-china-shop approach, refusing to release federal funding already approved and in the budget, leaving states with no fallback plan or time to prepare a post-FEMA plan.
Bottom line: Cruel, capricious and spreading chaos. Just another day of Republican rule.

Are you ready to start organizing or supporting local mutual aid disaster relief? So many emergency preparedness and response programs are being cut, at a time when disasters are on the rise and will continue to worsen indefinitely. If no one else will save us, why don't we try working together to save each other?
