  1. Nevada's NV-TF1 has been activated also and should be in San Antonio (staging area) tonight.

    Colorado deployed Sunday evening and arrived mid afternoon Monday. When CO got to check in they were told go rest and check your gear and we’ll put you to work in the morning. CO said we checked our gear before we left and we can rest when we get home; what’s our assignment….

  2. I’ve spoke with BearSchlong on the phone on several occasions. He helped me help a close friend through very dark times a few years ago. I believe the last time I spoke to him it was roughly 40 minutes and it was like talking to a long lost friend. Never met the man in person. I’d bite a bear in the ass for him. Top notch fella.

  3. I'll respectfully disagree.  They bring resources that many State and Locals can't afford.  The big piece of this: incident command.  Working previously for the state, we had to take FEMA incident response training, and they in theory should be coming in and taking the lead and coordinating the response.  They have a usefulness...

    That’s your opinion and you’re certainly entitled to it. Also, I appreciate you articulating your opinion in a constructive way, thank you for that. Extensive NIMS and ICS training and certification are required of any entity receiving federal funds and also what helps make interoperability between departments possible; so I’ll disagree that at the operations level FEMA is needed for that.

    I’ll own that I was a bit too vague about not being needed beyond their checkbook. They do have a purpose and do help, but it’s been my firsthand experiences that they greatly complicate and convolute things in the initial action phase of an incident. Once incident stabilization has been achieved is where I feel they’re better suited. This has been an issue that transcends whatever political party is running the White House. In fact, my biggest frustrations came from incidents that occurred under the post-Obama regime and pre-Biden.
  4. The poster y’all keep quoting is a known fuckhead idiot. You won’t change his mind and you won’t shame him into correcting his behavior. Put him on ignore and let him talk to himself
