The head of FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue branch, which runs a network of teams stationed across the country that can swiftly respond to natural disasters, resigned on Monday. Ken Pagurek’s departure comes less than three weeks after a delayed FEMA response to catastrophic flooding in central Texas caused by bureaucratic hurdles put in place by the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the disaster response agency. Pagurek told colleagues at FEMA that the delay was the tipping point that led to his voluntary departure after months of frustration with the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the agency, according to two sources familiar with his thinking. It took more than 72 hours after the flooding for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to authorize the deployment of FEMA’s search and rescue network. FEMA search and rescue chief resigns after frustration with Texas flood response We all know that ICE Barbie is not capable of running FEMA effectively. Unfortunately there is more suffering to come. Thanks Trump
I've said before that it's got to be really frustrating for accomplished professionals to have to work for these clowns. Flood waters are washing people, including children, away. Imagine being in charge of search and rescue and you can't send anyone for three days ....
