According to the report, FEMA knew from a 2011 exercise that Puerto Rico would need extra support from the federal agency to get supplies distributed throughout the island in an emergency. Despite that, the report says, the agency failed to prepare. The agency also failed to follow the regular standards of tracking deliveries and holding contractors to account by asking for documented proof of deliveries, the inspector general found.
“In response to the large volume of commodities ordered, FEMA had to open up two overflow sites in Jacksonville to store commodities awaiting shipment, as well as divert a significant amount of commodities to other locations,” the report says. “According to [FEMA] personnel in Jacksonville, some commodity shipments intended for Puerto Rico likely never left the continental United States.”
The end result of a shortfall in supplies and some of the available supplies never arriving was that after waiting at least ten days for any kind of assistance to arrive, just 20% of municipalities on the island received enough food and only 27% of municipalities received enough water to supply survivors of the hurricane.

‘Appalling,’ ‘dangerous’: Ex-Trump officials react to Trump debate showingTwo former top Trump officials, Olivia Troye and Elizabeth Neumann, are now spending the weeks before the election warning voters about the President. “I think the President showed the nation exactly who he is last night. I’m just glad he put it on display to see what I’ve been watching behind closed doors in briefings,” says Troye. I do believe just as Trump does, that the Democrats are using the coronavirus as a political weapon to win an election. Do you really think Joe Biden cares if anyone dies from Covid? He said nothing at 50 thou, nothing at 100thou, but now the election is here he’s concerned!
