Former FEMA director Michael Brown offers his assessment of the federal relief and recovery efforts after Hurricane Ian flooded parts of Florida.
But, he added,"One of the things that does need to be done that I haven’t seen a lot of… is, I think the media has really been hyping this quite a bit. And what they need to do is speak directly and calmly and straightforward to the people in the path of these storms about what to expect, what you should do, where you should go.
While it appears local leaders are putting their political differences aside and working with the White House for disaster support, Brown said it's a matter of time before a mistake is made and the"claws come out." "Even though right now they’re hugging each other and talking about the great leadership, which is great because that’s what I actually am observing, this is by its very nature a disaster," he said."So in a disaster by its very nature, things go wrong. Something goes wrong all the time.
President Joe Biden participates in a briefing on the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season, at FEMA headquarters, Monday, May 24, 2021, in Washington. "It’s a responsibility on government officials, it's a responsibility of citizens and a responsibility of the media to understand what we’re dealing with is a natural disaster. They happen. They’re always going to happen. They'll happen to us in the future," Brown continued."So let’s figure out a way and I think we’re seeing it now, let’s just come together and try to fix this and realize this is what it is.
