Orlando Sentinel: FEMA had a warning for local governments at the annual Governor’s Conference on Hurricanes: Don’t count on Uncle Sam to be there immediately after the next natural disaster.
“If you’re waiting on FEMA to run your commodities, that’s not the solution,” FEMA Administrator Brock Long said Wednesday. “I can’t guarantee that we can be right on time to backfill everything you need.”
The warning came as Gov. Rick Scott asked everyone to pray that Florida isn’t struck by a hurricane for the third year in a row. The state endured Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017.
