The catastrophic #flooding in the #Texas Hill Country on July 4, in which 120 people were killed, was the final straw for Pagurek, acc/to 4 people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity…. #FEMA was slow to deploy response & search-&-rescue coordination teams, acc/to half a dozen current & former FEMA ofcls & #disaster experts. Several Democratic lawmakers have called for an investigation into the agency’s handling of the disaster.
Experts have said that responses during a #disaster can quickly total billions of dollars, & that requiring personal approvals for expenses of $100,000 & above could easily create bottlenecks.
“This decision was not made lightly, & after much reflection & prayer, it is the right path for me at this time,” Mr. Pagurek wrote in a resignation letter. His departure was first reported by CNN.
Mr. Pagurek could not be reached for comment.
Ken Pagurek, who worked with #FEMA’s search & rescue branch for more than a decade & served as chief for the past year, told associates that his concerns had been mounting since the start of #hurricane season and that the admin’s changes to the agency were causing “#chaos.”
He said he worried that a new policy that requires purchases of >$100k be personally approved by [dog killer] #KristiNoem, the #DHS secretary, could hurt #disaster response efforts that require speed & agility.
#FEMA Urban Search & Rescue Chief Resigns, Citing Agency ‘Chaos’, Colleagues Said
Ken Pagurek had told colleagues the #Trump admin was causing ‘#chaos’ inside FEMA & creating dangerous delays in #disaster response.
The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s urban search & rescue unit has resigned, telling colleagues he was frustrated by bureaucratic hurdles the Trump admin imposed that delayed the agency’s response to deadly #flooding in #Texas.
For the UK folks that argued with me few months back that UK wouldnt get tornados. This was in Scotland yesterday. I also have images as well.

Declining quality
In modern society, a bad culture has been formed that demands efficiency and cost reduction. "Just hurry up," "Get it out before them," and this pressure has led to a decline in quality.

Over the years, Texas legislators have declined to pass at least three bills that would create siren or alert systems, a tool that Kerr County officials tried to secure for years before the July 4 flooding.
