They expect FEMA to show up a couple of hours after a storm with goverment tits for them to suck on. Don't know if ne.com will lrint this.

But, something just doesn't seem right of the handling of this. I mean when Ivan hit FEMA was at my door within that week asking me what I needed. Thank God that the generator they help me buy then I am using today. I just think it could have been handled better. I know the linemen are working hard and I appreciate them very much.

Once the power goes out, you are own your own. Shame the Commissioner's and councilmen can't see this problem. Two days later when power is restored they all come on and fawn over each other and how great they did. .Fire them all. Being informed in an emergency is crucial. This is totally unacceptable, .Been living in Escambia County, FL for over 60 years and am amazed that we do not have a decent Emergency Radio station. Once the power goes out, you are own your own.

No Gulf Power trucks? They have 7k trucks in the area. There were over 150k people without power in Escambia County. If they have service restored to 95% of the customers by Tuesday, then that beats the restoration during Ivan. And as far as Sheriff Morgan saying the first 72 are on you: Yes! Take some responsibility for protecting yourself and having the essentials you need. It’s called “Hurricane Season” for a reason. While you may want to blame politicians (who have their own set of flaws), law enforcement and Gulf Power but seems like the only people who dropped the ball are the people ill-prepared. Today, I am still without power but am using my generator. I have gas for said generator. I have a grill. I have food to last my family for a week. My parents are the same. It’s called preparedness.

Got ice,water Donated by Winn Dixie today. Only help We found. No power, no internet, no news. RADIO STATIONS No longer announces Weather, or emergency help, How does victims get information, or announcements? WHERE iS FEMA to help with food, water, ice And helping financially with home repairs? Someone dropped The ball this time, it was local, state Politicians that's who. Gulf Power also dropped The ball No sign of gulf power trucks, Usually out of town help is already here on standby. Fema usually here waiting for storm to pass. Does Sheriff Morgan let the cat out of bag saying the first 72 is on us. It wasn't before. Before every Department in Escambia County was ready and information was sent out on tv, and local radio stations during the storm and after them Until it was finished. No longer, Escambia County no longer knows how to handle an emergency or contact it's citizens without power or internet service. We need a local emergency radio station to find answers.

I'm having a hard time trying to understand how that is not an emergency. Estimated date for the problem to be fixed is September 22. I guess in the meantime we just sit back and hope that no one gets hurt , or killed as a result. I have had a live wire down on the side of my house since Sally came through.
