All Eyes on FEMA in Tornado’s Aftermath
Imagine this, elected officials are worried FEMA won’t be able to deliver help and support to tornado victims in a timely manner:
Even before the federal reinforcements arrived, a Democratic senator was warning the Federal Emergency Management Agency to do better than past disasters, including, of course, Hurricane Katrina.
“I have talked to FEMA Director David Paulison and made it clear that I will not tolerate a slow reaction time,” Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas said in a short statement. “FEMA must not use bureaucratic excuses to avoid helping Arkansans.”
NBC News reported that his statement echoed the concern of other local and state officials in the tornado-afflicted states, which included one still reeling from Katrina: Mississippi.
