(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In yet another miserable failure of the Biden-Harris administration, FEMA’s inability to respond effectively to Hurricanes Helene and Milton has exposed a troubling pattern.
From unanswered calls for help to financial mismanagement that prioritized immigration over disaster relief, this bungled response is alarming.
During Hurricanes Helene and Milton, FEMA faltered dramatically, failing to answer nearly half of the 900,000 calls for assistance.
Overwhelmed call centers left more than 47% of victims without even the chance to speak with a federal worker.
Reports indicate that those who managed to connect still faced intolerable wait times, averaging over an hour, Politico reports.
Multiple reasons contribute to this catastrophic situation. Staffing shortages and stretched resources have been pinpointed as primary factors behind the chaos.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas emphasized FEMA “does not have the funds” necessary to manage ongoing crises, cited by The New York Post.
Former President Donald Trump did not hold back in expressing frustration, labeling FEMA’s response as “terrible.”
In a political climate already marred by contention, the mishandling of disaster relief by the Harris-Biden administration could become a significant election issue.
Moreover, $640.9 million from FEMA’s funds were allocated to assist with immigration challenges, leaving disaster relief underfunded.
This redirection of resources has stirred dissatisfaction and debate among lawmakers and American patriots alike, who demand accountability and effectiveness from federal agencies.
Lessons from past disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy seem unheeded as FEMA continues to struggle with its responsibilities.
As former FEMA Administrator Brock Long highlighted, “We’ve been redlining since Harvey and have never recovered.”
The continued inability to address and improve disaster response efforts leaves citizens vulnerable.
Public trust in FEMA and current administrative efforts is waning, as the stark reality of being unprepared for natural disasters unfolds.
It is clear that a comprehensive reevaluation of FEMA’s preparedness and response strategy is imperative.
American patriots demand a government that prioritizes their safety and security during these turbulent times.
