Re:FEMA Spends More Preparing for Terrorism Than Hurricanes by egypturnash on Thursday August 27, 2020 @12:38PM (#24295447)
You know, there are other kinds of natural disasters. Remember a few weeks ago when something called a "derecho" tore across Middle America - starting from Nebraska? https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/10/weather/derecho-forecast-chic...

Ever hear of something called an "earthquake"? Strikes with absolutely no warning, most of the US's tech hotspots are either right on top of a fault line, or in the path of a tsunami caused by one out in the ocean.

I'm sure you will be completely fine with the government continuing to earmark most FEMA funds for "counter-terrorism" when you're affected by one of these. Especially if it's in a year where the President has just drained most of the non-terror funds by swiping them for something else, like he did this year:

The Trump administration recently ordered FEMA to divert $44 billion from the agency’s disaster-relief fund to pay for federal unemployment benefits. The measure was a stopgap after Congress failed to enact another Covid-19 stimulus package. - the article at hand
