How To Respond to Hurricanes
Hat tip: Cox and Forkum
Gov. Jeb Bush lays out the key to Florida’s success in this St. Petersburg Times article:
Bush said Florida responded successfully in the aftermath of Hurricane Wilma because the state relied on the expertise of local emergency managers. He said relying on federal emergency officials can be a fatal blunder.“Our system is a bottoms-up system,” Bush said. “In the case of Louisiana it was left to the federal government to fill a void and the consequences are there for the rest of the world to see.”
See? The Federal Government is not your mama. You’ve got to take care of yourself. That’s not just a Randian notion: that’s rule Number 1 of being an adult.
