Interesting, since that’s an F—- you from the GOP House leader to DeSantis. The Republican caucus is a disaster.

Make it more reliant and build in different locations— that assume a hundred year storm every few years. Because I tired of FEMA bailing out people the 4th and 5th time they have massive hurricane distraction. The definition of insanity and all that. And expensive insanity.

Well "the hurricane belt" now includes Asheville NC.

So I guess we stop building everywhere from Florida all the way up to New Jersey/New York, which have also been damaged by hurricanes. BTW, that includes DC area which has also been hit.

Which is a bummer. I was eyeing that area for retirement. Scratch that idea.

+1 And can't go to the west coast either! Looks like fly-over country is the place to be!

Appalachia was supposed to be a safe haven for people fleeing the effects of climate change, until it wasn't.

Sometimes, it seems like places with seemingly gentle climates have subtle dangers that aren't as obvious as hurricanes.

The Pacific Northwest is often cited as haven, but I wouldn't want to be around when that giant volcano erupts.

Maybe we should all move to Ohio.

Yeah. I had a kid attend Oberlin. He really liked Lake Effect snow, wind and ice. I think it sounds miserable.

FEMA has set up emergency centers in towns and people can use computers there to apply for the $750. FEMA workers there actually hand out the payment upon completion of the forms. It'll take many days for everyone to get to the centers, but the response is must quicker than Katrina and Maria. Many stores are open but don't have the electricity/internet to accept credit cards. I'm wondering what you, Emergency Services expert, would do differently?

Hand out food, water, pet food, and cash.

Well duh. That is being done. I bet most people have the original $750.

If your state doesn't want to acknowledge climate change and take steps to help curb it, then I don't think your state should get any FEMA money when a natural disaster hits due to climate change... I mean after all you don't believe in it right?

So Republican governors are okay with welfare when their state is getting more handouts?
These natural disasters are costing us more money every year than immigration

Are the states around Florida going to close their borders to the illegal rush of citizens out of the flooding State of Florida. I mean we know damn good and well that's why migrants are coming up from South America is because of global warming and we don't want to help them. So why should we help Floridians in the same position?? Especially those who don't believe in the cause of this entire issue

Why would he want to speak to Kamala? She’s inept and incompetent. Everything she touches, she destroys.

Exactly!!! DeSantis had already spoken with Biden and gotten everything set up!
Democrats— the party of misinformation.

Well, which is it you think the vice president has the ability to enact laws for the last 3 and 1/2 years? Or you now realize that position doesn't really do much so there's not planning a point in talking to it.... Because Trump's been saying Kamala had 3 years to do xyz even though he should know. Damn good and well she has no power

Thank you. The racism and misogyny of the right is so obvious.

I’m pretty sure Desantis is on board. The GOP’s goal is to make it look like Biden Harris and the government can’t do anything in order to bolster the GOP’s chances to win in November. It’s ghoulish and offensive, but that’s the play.

This welfare is different, special. It’s owed to Republicans, you see. Those other people are useless takers, these people are getting their due.

Global warming is similar to the "winter is coming" saying in Game of Thones. Everyone fighting to sustain their own power while a massive catastrophe is headed for them all.
