Gerard J. Quinn & Associates optimize disaster financial recovery for local and state governments & non-profit organizations. Eligibility through Audit.
False promises. Admistrator Criswell driving bus named Deny/Deny. Denial amount very large. Cost to California to file 250+/- appeals is how much?? Cal OES has 5 staffers to file appeals.
He is back. In the next few days under his signature almost 250 determination memos to be posted in the %^%&*(Portal) mostly denials for California applicants. Total denial amount being chased down. Former FEMA Admistrator Gaynor promised to pay on broad, expedited costs.

Politics aside Newsom family gets to vacation. Important question is where is the FMAG for Electra Fire. FMAG for a few burning coastal homes in Orange County did not take this long. FMAGs are administrative not Presidential.
SCOOP: @GavinNewsom is on vacation in Montana. His office had been loath to disclose the location until now.
Montana is one of 22 states to which CA bans state-funded travel due to anti-LGBTQ+ policies. It's also likely to institute an abortion ban.

Newsom allows President Biden to slide more years into "Decades of Federal Neglect" of fuel reduction, "maintenance" of the 800 mile fuel break. For CA with its huge amount of federally owned lands. Accepts denial of Individual Assistance for El Dorado County, again. #CaldorFire
No what is “incomprehensible” is that the Gav continues to ignore that the primary cause of our fires is a lack of forest managment. We have provided record funding for fuel reduction, but the execution (his job) has been woefully inadequate as documented by @SRodd_CPR
