I didn't realize school janitors made that much money. You had to be the custodian because it is quite evident from your writing that you never matriculated beyond the second grade. Pobrecito.

Hmmm methinks PoppaGringo and OldGringo from Mexifornia are one and the same from yesteryear...😎

Why is it that all the democrats can do is get on this forum and put out false numbers and false facts to support their false claims. And when that doesn't work, they resort to name calling and profanity. All it proves to me is that they don't know what they are talking about, don't take the time to learn what their talking about and don't care enough about this country to do anything other than b***h and complain about things like c*****e c****e, because Al Gore says so, or the Russians r****d the e******n or Trump pooped his pants, grow up liberals! This is the real world! Instead of running around trying your best to be a "resister", try being a "contributor" for a change. Maybe you can actually make the world a better place, because all you are doing now is making the world a more difficult place to be. A perfect example between conservatives and liberals has been on our tv screens non stop for the last week. Hurricane Katrina was handled by democrats at the local and state level in New Orleans and was a total disaster, but hurricane Harvey was handled by republicans and the rescue effort is being handled in a totally different manner. As bad as things are there in Houston, you don't see and hear people crying and standing around acting helpless doing nothing like in Katrina. Two very similar tragedies handled by two very different ideologies with two very different outcomes. Twelve years after Katrina people are still pointing fingers and are a divided community and upset with the way things were handled and twelve years from now Houston will look back and remember how hurricane Harvey tore into their city and how they came together as a community and rebuilt their city better than it ever was before. Two distinctly different ideologies, two distinct different outcomes. I like the way Houston is handling things better.

cb,


The near useless handling of Katrina created some changes in the process. Apparent for Sandy. I expect that these and more are in effect now and fast tracking the response for Harvey..


Agency Gets A Makeover

"FEMA is a very different organization than it was during Katrina," says Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.

Lieberman chairs the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which helped spur post-Katrina reforms at the agency. Those changes, Lieberman says, have proved themselves during Sandy.

"[FEMA] was proactive, and it didn't used to be. It doesn't wait for the storm to hit; it pre-positions personnel, equipment, food supplies, water, etc.," he says.

FEMA had hundreds of thousands of liters of bottled water, along with millions of meals, cots and blankets stockpiled, which were moved into the region ahead of Sandy.

The agency also had President Obama sign disaster declarations before the details of those disasters were fully known. Lieberman says that was important, too, to start the money flowing immediately to local governments and survivors.

"You used to have to fill out a lot of paperwork to get eligibility for disaster assistance from the president. Today, they're being much more commonsensical about it," he says.

Federal officials say FEMA has some $3.6 billion in its Disaster Relief Fund and billions more available in other accounts, if needed. It has already begun spending that money. Some $19 million has gone out to storm victims to pay for temporary housing.

Cutting Through The Bureaucracy

The good reviews of FEMA extend to the agency's leader, administrator Craig Fugate. Fugate was tapped by Obama to head the agency after leading the Florida Division of Emergency Management. That experience is key, says James Kendra, who heads the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware.

From the information I have, not one dollar has come from the federal government yet. I have no reason to believe my info is any better than yours, in fact I hope I'm wrong and your right because those poor people need help today, not tomorrow, that's for sure. My point from my post was, it's a total different mindset from the way the two different locations handled things after the storm.

I am not a Democrat but would like to gently point out the flaw in your cringeworthy post.
Dubbya was President in 2005 when Katrina hit and the fumbled Federal response to that disaster was credited with sinking his Presidency with online memes showing him fishing while people behind him drowned.
Perpetually trying to draw negative distinctions between the two parties is something both sides do but it hardly helps the growing social divide in America. Interesting how these distinctions melt away when the first responder rescues your family with his boat and turns out to support the "other" party whoever that may be.
Same goes for combat. There are no Democrats or Republicans in a trench when bullets are whipcracking just over your heads.
Just saying....

I do agree with that. I was simply attempting to show how much had been corrected over 12 years or so..

The private fundraising and help has also been awesome in Houston..

The Mayor has been assured ree******n for eternity with his upbeat and praise for everyone approach.. He is very good..

I am not sure when FEMA was created, but to make improvements after any event would be expected and that seems to have been what happened..

That is good for the whole nation.. for any future events..
