fema only comes in when the president declares a state of emergency.'t happened yesterday. right now it's just a governor declaring a state of emergency. what's the point that? in this case it's so the governor can force state agencies to use their resources to deal with the crisis. a state of emergency red tape is out the window. and oh well the agency only works over here out the window. it is all hands on-deck. there are something called a governor's office of emergency services and it is now in charge of state resources. and it can move them around to deal with the emergency. cutting through bureaucracy is not the only thing that happens in a state of emergency. other things that are triggered include a ban on price gouging that goes into effect for the affected neighborhoods. criminal penalties for looting. normally when you steal stuff it's called burglary. but when you steal stuff during a state of emergency, it is looting and a penalty is serious. victims of a state of emergency can get extra time on tax returns and to file for unemployment ben

they brought us 1.7 million meals that the airlifted in and it took the place of what fema was supposed to have done. these weren't disastrous system meals, these were pentagon meals that were supposed to be for soldiers and saying we could get them replaced before we run out. so many times the federal government was a great partner, they did a whole lot right than wrong, but they sure did do somethings wrong. some things wrong. i'm not saying they didn't. i hope when you read this book, the book is half as good as the story. if i have done the story justice, it is going to be a great book. it is a great story. i mentioned my mother talking about a crisis in most people, she always had a follow-up to that quote, she would say but remember, crisis does not create character. crisis reveals character. the character was already there. the spirit and character of the people of mississippi was there, unrecognized. perhaps most unrecognized by us, by ourselves. after katrina, after the response of our people, i can't tell you how many times i would hear what i first heard in a business council

i was at the fema's national advisory council in washington, d.c. last week. i had the honor of sitting on it and representing san francisco and i can't begin to tell you how many people came up and asked me about urban shield specifically? and if they could come out and to partner with us and find out what we do. so more to come on that. i wanted to mention that fema requires us to do a hazard mitigation plan and keep it updated every three years. we did complete our hazard mitigation plan at the end of 2014. we covered climate change, and sea-level rise, temperature rise, precipitation changes, and we received many national accolades and requests for guidance to integrate those new components into other people's hazard mitigation plans. so again, i think we are viewed as leading the pack in that. since our last meeting, we have had a number of different exercises. i mentioned urban shield and we had ebooltabletop series a 3-part series. we did a mass-feeding tabletop. we did fleet week logistic tabletop and as the mayor mentioned and you will hear more about
