180+ FEMA Workers Say Disaster Response Is Deadweight Drama
More than 180 current and former FEMA employees have sent an affectionate group text to the FEMA Review Council and Congress, warning that the agency's disaster response game is so weak even a mild thunderstorm could cause mass hysteria. This letter, bringing firefighter-level burnout to government inboxes, signals that FEMAâs readiness could crash harder than a 90s dial-up during an all-hands emergency. Experts (well, actual stress-tested workers) are basically yelling, 'The house is on fire, and someone forgot gasoline.' Meanwhile, bureaucratic inertia keeps the agency limping toward disasters like a soap opera villain with a broken leg.
