That's what happens when you have idiots as leaders.
Take a wild ass guess who put the FEMA Director into that position!
Fema Director "We’re using social media as a means for people to turn to for help, we’re using everything from Facebook to Twitter. I think there’s a higher degree of awareness that people have of the storm is coming and what the impacts are going to be. A call to FEMA’s news desk, however, found even they didn’t have any non-Internet information readily available beyond suggestions that people call 911 in an emergency. When asked where folks should turn for information if they have no internet, a FEMA worker said, “Well, those people who have a laptop with a little battery life on it can try that way"
Fema didn't have any major cable or local news channels put emergency phone numbers or key radio station frequencies on their screens. The only phone-related instructions on the homepage of ready.gov is how to get monthly disaster-prep text messages. The Federal Emergency Management Agency told the public via Twitter to use texts and social media outlets to stay informed.
Take a wild ass guess who put the FEMA Director into that position!
