This message crossed my desk today, with information about the superstorm out east and how to cope with it whether you are there or elsewhere.
This is a serious storm, but we are going to do what it takes
to keep people safe and secure, and make sure the communities
affected get the assistance they need. FEMA is working with
state and local governments to respond effectively. We all owe
a debt of thanks to the first responders who will be dealing with
the immediate impact of the storm.
If you live in the storm's path, please listen to state and local
authorities about where and how to take shelter and stay safe --
and encourage your friends and family to do the same. If you are
asked to evacuate, please take that seriously.For more information on how to prepare for this storm, visit Ready.gov:
And if you'd like to find out how to support relief efforts where
they're needed most, please visit the Red Cross or your local relief
organization:http://my.barackobama.com/Red-Cross
Michelle and I are keeping everyone in the affected areas in our
thoughts and prayers. Be safe.Barack

Admittedly, FEMA's image has been severely tarnished since 2005. But the fix for that isn't to get rid of it -- it's to take it out from under
FatherlandHomeland Security and give it competent leadership again. It functioned well for many years before being destroyed by cronyism under Bush II, and could do so again.Thoughts
