FEMA: Disaster Relief No Longer About Emergency Response, It’s About ‘Disaster Equity’<\/span><\/p>\n

Via American Greatness,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is supposed to be the government\u2019s premier emergency relief organization in times of disaster, like the situation now faced by victims of Hurricane Helene\u2019s aftermath in North Carolina and Tennessee.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But according to the\u00a0FEMA website<\/a>, the agency now places higher priority on instituting Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity guidelines than on easing the suffering of Americans displaced by disaster.<\/p>\n

We just released our 2022-2026 Strategic Plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will remain focused on increasing equity in our programs & policies, leading resilience in a changing climate and strengthening the emergency management workforce.”– @FEMA_Deanne<\/a><\/p>\n

Among the goals listed in FEMA\u2019s strategic plan are to:<\/p>\n

Instill equity as a foundation for emergency management<\/p>\n

Lead whole of community in climate resilience<\/p>\n

Promote and sustain a ready FEMA & prepared nation<\/p>\n

What does that look like in action?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example of a FEMA disaster preparedness meeting where participants discuss how LGBTQIA individuals were suffering disproportionally before the storm compared to other disaster victims.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Notice how the focus shifts from doing the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people to ensuring that they are promoting \u201cequity in disaster relief.\u201d<\/p>\n

FEMA Disaster Preparedness Meeting:<\/p>\n

“We should focus our efforts on LGBTQIA people\u2026 they struggled before the storm”<\/p>\n

FEMA released a document in 2023 titled \u201cEquity in Disaster Relief\u201d \u2013 Achieving Equitable Recovery: A Post Disaster Guide.<\/p>\n

Among the aims of that document is an explicitly stated goal to ensure \u201cequitable\u201d distribution of aid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both flood victims and those desperately trying to get aid to them have raised serious concerns about FEMA taking control of, or confiscating private aid that is being brought to the disaster area.<\/p>\n

Vice President Harris\u2019s explanation of equitable distribution seems to vindicate the concerns being expressed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

FEMA – The Helene Response<\/p>\n

The reports coming from victims and volunteers on the ground that FEMA is blocking aid, and commandeering donations in North Carolina is not hyperbole. This is what they don’t want you to see. I’ll explain.<\/p>\n

In 2023, FEMA released a document:

FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell\u2019s defense of the agency\u2019s woke strategic plan has a similar ring to the\u00a0DEI efforts of former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle<\/a>\u00a0who resigned following the July assassination attempt on former president Trump in Butler County, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

In both cases, the essential reasons for which both agencies exist, namely, providing food, shelter and care for disaster victims or protecting dignitaries, are being downplayed in order to promote woke left-wing goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
