Emergency Management Assistance Compact

This is horrible misuse of something that needs to be done for disasters, but needs to be said that mutual aid is a pretty well known emergency management thing. The congressionally created Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) functions nationwide and uses mutual aid lingo www.emacweb.org

Alaska station that covered devastating storm cuts jobs A public TV and radio station in Western Alaska serves dozens of villages damaged by Typhoon Halong. But with federal funding eliminated, KYUK makes severe cuts to its staff and news department.

People have no idea what we are about to lose.

Lost in translation: FEMA sent β€˜unintelligible’ disaster relief application information to Alaska Natives impacted by Typhoon Merbok A California-based translation company was paid to translate documents into Yup'ik and IΓ±upiaq, but failed to do it accurately.

For households with low-incomes, the rent is always going to eat first - with SNAP helping make up the gap. Without that subsidy, theres very little to make up the difference. Cant believe there's money sitting in the bank for it, but its not getting used πŸ‘€
