After equity comes ‘climate resilience’ and only in third place is to ‘Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared Nation’ which can mean (if you’re generous and naive) doing its actual job.
But first comes FEMA’s primary mission to ‘Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management’.
And that’s why the disaster in North Carolina is playing out the way that it is. I’ll have more on that in my article ‘FEMA’s DEI Crippled Hurricane Helene Response’.
Disaster response is not FEMA’s top job. Like every federal agency in the Biden-Harris administration, its first job is equity. The result is a border that can’t be secured, a military that can’t win wars and a disaster response agency that can’t respond to disasters.
