Right now, the only thing that brings peace to my heart is knowing Jesus was there, wrapping the children in His love and carrying them home with Him.🙏🙏🙏
@atrupar Was the NWS missing key personnel during Harvey when they told us we’d get 20” of rain and we got 50”?
36 people died in Houston (more than half of the direct deaths), & 33 of those were from “fresh water flooding” including a 48-year-old woman who drowned in a hotel elevator…
“Alligator Alcatraz” was initially funded by Florida’s state budget. Florida might seek reimbursement from FEMA - which would come from FEMA’s SSP.
FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program (SSP): is a federal grant program used to provide funding for non-federal entities, such as local governments and nonprofit organizations, to support migrants with shelter, food, transportation, and other services after they are released from CBP custody. SSP is funded by CBP which is separate from ICE.
DHS confirmed SSP’s $625 million budget - COULD - cover costs for facilities like Alligator Alcatraz, as it falls under “shelter” services for migrants. However, a DHS court filing on July 3, 2025, clarified that Florida had not yet applied for or received SSP funds for the facility.
FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund (DRF):
is used for natural disaster response, i.e. flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and is legally restricted to Stafford Act purposes.
Hope this helps.
@Mikel_Jollett Omg y’all are doing this again. 🤣
Hurricane Harvey - Houston, TX
NOAA/NWS told us we’d get 20” of rain… we got 50”.
NOAA was fully staffed & funded then right?
