A whistleblower report was just released by Matt Gaetz office from a FEMA employee detailing the massive incompetence and disregard for the people in Appalachia.
My office has been in contact with whistleblowers in numerous emergency-management functions at the federal, state, and local levels, and they all point to the same critical mismanagement issues. FEMA has wasted taxpayer funds misappropriated funds, and left other federal, state, and local responders without deployment orders on the ground. As reported and further confirmed by my office, hundreds, if not thousands of service members were deployed by the Department of Defense to North Carolina and have sat idle, waiting for FEMA. We have confirmed FEMA employees deployed, on the clock, awaiting orders in hotels. FEMA pre-disaster aid was withheld, exacerbating the emergency.
Boots on the ground, sitting on the clock in hotel rooms, waiting for orders?
Meanwhile, citizens are risking life and limb to rescue people.
We will keep you updated if we get more info on this.
