Yesterday this blog entertained visits from persons interested in learning about what it’s like to survive a hurricane. To that end I’ve found that some of my Ike-related posts are on a Red Cross site.
I’ve also urged a FEMA boot camp where they can feel like we do in a Katrina, Rita, Ike or their kin. It is my hope that some of these “hits” have come from potential staffers in your administration.
On behalf of all hurricane survivors, I ask that you not make FEMA a dumping ground for stupid political hacks. Ditto “homeland security.” No lessons have been learned since Katrina and that was a disaster before, during and especially after the hurricane with wounds that cannot be mended.
Please have a uniform plan to aid your constituents in the event of a natural disaster or terrorist attack and have able leaders in place to assure comfort and aid to those in need of assistance.
Thank you. Dee
