If we care about disaster survivors, community’s ability to prepare for, respond to disasters and mitigate risks they face, we should listen to Carter and the #KatrinaDeclaration signers.

These are also the very concerns
The #KatrinaDeclaration signers raised in the Katrina Declaration.

House Dems call on OSC to review potential FEMA whistleblower retaliation FEMA staff who signed the "Katrina Declaration" were put back on leave despite an agency legal finding that their disclosure was protected by the law.

Senior House Democrats call on the #OfficeOfSpecialCounsel to investigate possible #whistleblower #retaliation after #FEMA re-suspended employees who signed #KatrinaDeclaration. federalnewsnetwork.com/agency-overs... #EM

#FEMA employees signing the #KatrinaDeclaration are protected under the #WhistleblowerProtectionAct (WPA). The WPA prohibits retaliation against executive branch employees when they disclose information they reasonably believe evidences
a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety.

We've been holding onto some big news. Early in the week of Nov 17, a #KatrinaDeclaration signer who was on administrative leave was suddenly terminated.The rest of the public signers spent the week on pins and needles.

So much #FEMA news.
First, public signers of #KatrinaDeclaration who raised the alarm
on cuts, unqualified leaders among other things are being investigated. Clearly a retaliatory investigation for signing the declaration.

You can act. You can use the #katrinadeclaration to call your congressional members.

Use the voice you have. Whether they are red blue or purple let your representatives hear from You on this. FEMA does have bipartisan support.

Red-tinted image of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem raising her hand, superimposed on a storm-damaged landscape. FOX News headline discusses Noem's FEMA criticisms. Tone: critical, intense.

A rectangular graphic with a navy background and beige border features a red title box reading "Stand Up for Science." The text criticizes Secretary Noem's remarks about FEMA, praising FEMA for standing up.

Kristi Noem is lying. We are standing on business.

Recently 180+ FEMA employees issued a #KatrinaDeclaration warning Congress that Trump’s cuts will cause “another national catastrophe”. When federal workers risk their careers to sound the alarm, maybe we should fucking listen? Maybe they know what’s coming better than anyone.

Honor New Orleans, and Louisiana.

Act to defend our institutions so that they can aid us, the citizens, when we need them most.

#KatrinaDeclaration

Sign the Katrina declaration.

Many employees risked their careers by signing publicly. With one mission..uphold the duties of their office..by warning congress and the American people.

FEMA scrambles to suspend staffers who rang the alarm about the agency’s direction These FEMA employees effectively played the role of whistleblowers, pushing for solutions to problems. They were suspended for having done the right thing.

Veep Vance thinks by putting Katrina Declaration signers on administrative leave, the nation will no longer suffer from natural disasters but only from man-made disasters. #dontbelikejd #KatrinaDeclaration

Dear Citizens,
You have asked over the last 8 what can you do?

The authors of this letter have given you a tool to take action.

FEMA employees issue the Katrina Declaration at the time of both the 20th anniversary of the terrible natural disaster and the current regime’s destruction of critical agencies.

‘You had to fend for yourself’: Hurricane Katrina haunts New Orleans as Trump guts disaster aid As survivors and experts reflect on the storm 20 years on, fear is growing that the US is just as unprepared to take on extreme weather amid cuts to Fema

“It has been so demoralizing to realize how closely aligned we have become again to what Fema looked like pre-Katrina, & how quickly we’ve backslid on the progress of the last 20 years,”

If this “reporter” had even thought to reach out for comment, she would know that the allegations in this letter are both ridiculous and blatantly false. The career bureaucrats signing onto this letter have stood idly by and watched FEMA flounder and fail for decades, knowing that the agency was broken and ineffective. We refuse to let their complacency continue. FEMA is fully prepared for Hurricane Season. This Administration is cutting the bloat and turning FEMA into a lean, deployable, disaster force that cuts through bureaucracy and provides support to the American people when they need it most: following an emergency or natural disaster.

Krusty Gnome seems to be dictating her whining to the social media intern!

FEMA employees call for reforms to restore disaster response capacity ahead of Katrina anniversary The “Katrina Declaration and Petition to Congress" calls out reductions to CERT, the National Fire Academy and hazard grants as weakening national disaster readiness

It outlines six areas of opposition, including staffing reductions, program cuts and delays in mission assignments, which employees say could weaken disaster preparedness and response nationwide.

Some FEMA staff call out Trump cuts in public letter of dissent More than 180 current and former FEMA employees have published a letter warning of potential disaster due to cuts in the agency.
