DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that FEMA only has 10% frontline staff available for Hurricane Milton emergencies. A year ago, they had 20% availability. He said he was not concerned since they have 22,000 workers [untrained?] they could tap.
In May 2023, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a report indicating that, as of the start of Fiscal Year 2022, FEMA was understaffed by 35% with an overall staffing gap of approximately 6,200 employees. FEMA officials attributed the shortage to “responsibilities due to COVID-19 and managing the rising disaster activity during the year, which increased burnout and employee attrition,” according to the GAO.
Mayorkas told Fox News they can handle both hurricanes.
“We have search and rescue teams. The Army Corps of Engineers are there. We are ready,” Mayorkas said of Florida, in reference to the federal government’s preparation for Milton. “FEMA likes to say it is ‘FEMA-flexible.’ We can respond to multiple events at a single time.”
Meanwhile, Biden announced that his EPA is giving out $2.6 billion today to fund the elimination of lead pipes in the country. There is also that $157 million for Hezbollah. Another $20 billion went to Ukraine. There is powerful evidence that a billion dollars went to illegal immigrant housing and food.
There are nearly $7 billion in untapped funds Mayorkas could request. Many believe FEMA is a slush fund for Biden and Harris.

They’re gaslighting us. Biden should get off the beach and redirect funds.

Despite all the excuses and lies none of this compares to what we will have to deal with when WW3 comes to our shores.
We need state and local Militias now before its too late.
We need civil defense plans in place.
We need stockpiles of food, gas, and fresh water.
We need every American trained in self defense, small arms, and 10% trained in explosives and weapons systems.
We need every American trained in First Aid, Food production, and basic survival techniques.
We are so ill prepared for what’s coming, we are prey.
Most of America is too fat and lazy to do any of that. There tv has told them Kamala’s going to make everything all right.
Many are “woke”…and are not aware that they are actually in a state of ‘somnambulism’…
