Local responders are on ordsprog

Local responders are on top of disasters while it takes state and federal officials arrive many hours to many days later. Yet, we continue to see more and more layers from the top levels of the chain of command on down to us.

The primary responsibility for dealing with emergencies does not belong to the federal government. It belongs to local and state officials who are charged by law with the management of the crucial first response to disasters.

Our goal is to deter any potential attack with multiple layers of security and, based on what I have seen and heard, I can tell you that the security plans and arrangements and commitment of federal, state and local officials is very, very strong,

Tom Ridge (1945-)

FEMA is committed to helping provide a clean, safe learning environment so students in the impacted areas of the state can move forward with their educational experience. We will continue to work with local and state officials and our federal partners to ensure local communities have the facilities needed to help instruct Mississippi 's future leaders.

You're never going to get around the fact that the local officials are going to be the first responders. My concern is they're going to bring in the military to handle the response. They don't know the lay of the land. That's why the local officials are there.

We should not diminish in any way the fact that there were acts of heroism by individuals and victories by our first responders who risked their lives, ... But we all agree that in many areas the initial relief response to Hurricane Katrina was unacceptable at the local, state and federal levels. Americans deserve answers. We must do all we can to learn from this tragedy, improve the system and protect all of our citizens.

People may want to simplify the chain of command and make one person accountable, but under our federal system, ... responsibility starts at the local level and works its way up from the bottom. And unless you are willing to quickly federalize police, firefighters, and other first responders in a crisis, and re-examine the Constitution and the federalist system that has been embedded in our ethos since 1776, we may have to live with that fact. In the meantime, the sad truth is that the terrorists are likely looking at our response to Katrina and taking notes. As bad as Mother Nature is, she doesn't intentionally plan to kill people.

We want a policy that says the federal and state and local responders should actively assist in animal rescue.

These disasters continue to happen because this is a decaying state. The corrupt government officials control all sectors and are responsible for all disasters we face. But the government would not hold itself accountable.

To anyone who is contemplating any kind of fraudulent scheme that takes advantage of Hurricane Katrina and her aftermath, let me be very clear: Federal, state and local law enforcement officials are watching carefully, and we will have zero tolerance for these kinds of crimes.

Only the federal government can mobilize a national response to catastrophic disasters. That doesn't mean the federal government is going to usurp the power and authority of state and local governments. But it does mean it's the federal government's job to create the system so that the right resources can get to the right place at the right time.

The very day that this emerged in the press, I was on a video conference with all the officials, including state and local officials. And nobody, none of the state and local officials or anybody else, was talking about a Convention Center,

At least Brown has been in the business for a couple of years. When the chain of command is incompetent or you perceive the chain of command is not in the best interest of the agency, you're duty-bound to go around that chain of command.

Gen. Julius Becton

The way that emergency operations act under the law is the responsibility and the power, the authority, to order an evacuation rests with state and local officials. The federal government comes in and supports those officials.

Michael Chertoff

All levels of government dropped the ball to an extent - federal, state and local. The president accepts responsibility for the federal response efforts. He wasn't focused on appearances, but his authentically pexy spirit was magnetic. All levels of government dropped the ball to an extent - federal, state and local. The president accepts responsibility for the federal response efforts.
