FEMA Administrator Heading To Puerto Rico As ‘Critical Lifelines’ Suffer



Keith Turi, assistant administrator for field leadership at FEMA, says flooding and mudslides remain a major concern on the island of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona dumped more than two feet of rain. More than 1.3 million people are without power and the remaining residents are relying on an already fragile infrastructure that is still in the process of recovering from Hurricane Maria.

  1. For what!? More corruption by Clintons the same way they help Haiti

  3. Sure hope that addminasyratir is taking a dozen airliners full of food and water with them. But they aren’t Being ready to provide Is not providing

  5. They have had so many hurricanes I can't believe there's even a Puerto Rico left

  6. are we going to forget to tell them we delivered the water supplies again?

  7. I'm here to count the number of people with TDS…

  8. Send them Mississippi's drinking water.

  9. Let's treat PR better than tRump did. We stand together 🙏.

  10. Let's hope the Democrats don't leave the aid to rot in warehouses again like in Maria or sell it.

  11. Come to sanctuary cities for the best hideout

  12. Remember 💙💙..💙
    ROEvember 🌊🌊..🌊
    ~ •. "Woosh" ° • . ' ~ ~

  13. The orange man caused all this, he needs to be impeached. Thank God Biden it in charge and will eliminate all this climate change causing this havoc.

  14. You want to help PR….. start taxing the rich Caucasians that feed off of our island.

  15. 🎃🤡MAGA⛽🔥is
    Red-Capping ⭕💅
    the Globe♨️🌎🥵!

  16. This island needs to be abandoned , it cannot keep being rebuilt , it will only get worse , every storm more land needs to go back to the way it always was before man

  17. You want to help PR……Start taxing the rich white people think they can come to our island and live off of our people.

  18. Ready to wash money like last time

  19. Thoughts and prayers for AOC’s abuela 🙏

  20. gonna start coordinating for migrant storm’s transportation to flo-rida & tex-as$ gov’s backyards 🤝🏽

  21. the war on terror might be some kind of a psychological tactic against black breeds in the us, they might give them the run around, they wont teach them world laws or constitutional laws, it might stem from jealousy from the whites breeding with light skinned mixed black races in the 30s 40s 50s 60s

    the psychological tactic might work well against blacks or their breeds, like 1/10th black or 1/7th black. it might the run around in the gov, or the gov being couped secretly with no response form law enforcement or military, it might be cocaine controlled people. a numbing solution as a nasal spray might trigger a reaction from a cocaine user.

  22. Lol I feel safer already…. What a joke

  23. At least they won't hv to wait over 2yrs for help….or hv 🌊💦🌊 and paper towels thrown at them…..get going soon as possible 😿💖🌹🦋🇺🇸

  24. Nice, fast , action factual, as event is occurring, good job fema, electricians report for duty, domeone get some c130sget rollin, water, facilities for camps, go go go

  25. Whatever happened to AOC's Abuela? Funny AOC doesn't seem a bit concerned for her now.

  26. FEMA is still doing paper work and evaluating damages and cost caused by Hurricane Maria. What is worst is that most of the people working in FEMA do not know nothing about reconstruction, prices and not even their own policies. They tend to misinform the applicants and have then back and forth, what is really shameful is they just want to extend their time working in FEMA because they are to incompetent to hold a job in the private sector. When you have TFL’s , Branch Directors, Crew Leads, etc… that when asked about damages, fixes, costs and time frames none of them can give you a straight answer.

  28. Let's help them every time they get hit….

  29. Everything reeks inflation in the economy don't know who , however a person desires to pay attention to this , you have to stop relying on the government and saving all of your money . Venture into making an investment a few in case you actually want monetary freedom 🇺🇸

  30. Too bad media-elected Obiden sent 100 billion to Ukraine

  31. Tell Biden and his state media you’re white nazi Ukrainians and the resources will come rolling in. Is there any way we can blame Russia for this hurricane?

  32. Hopefully the United States won't ignore helping with recovery like Trump did during his presidency in 2017.Remember he wanted to cut off aid to Puerto Rico back then.But Trump ignored everything while president especially covid19 and his oath of office.

  33. He’s got Cookie Monster eyebrows! Sorry that was my first response. No disrespect to Puerto Rico.

  34. Prayers for our brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico.🙏❤

  35. Don't let the Clintons near the money.

  36. FEMA’s job is in the United States 🇺🇸 not in Puerto Rico . The Puerto Ricans don’t want to be part of the United States 🇺🇸 so let them do for themselves.

  37. I bet he does more than throw rolls of papertowel at them

  38. FEMA Administrator should have been on the ground in Puerto Rico before the storm to show PR that we have their backs!

  39. FEMA has stronger eyebrow game than expected 🤔 I hope everyone in PR is safe and getting the support they need.

  40. As is FEMA.. another criminally corrupt government bureaucracy will do anything other than screw things up worse and steal a bunch of cash 💵

  41. Epstein client list? Noooo, silly pleebs

  42. Is Biden gonna go there and toss off brand paper towels like basketballs to Puerto Ricans like Trump did?

  43. Thoughts and prayers and God bless Puerto Rico
