OKAY. WE HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS HERE SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU BOTH TO COME UP AND FIELD THEM, TRADE... |
| 00:23:42 |
|
I THINK IF WE DO IT RIGHT, WE'RE ALREADY SPENDING THE MONEY. WE PROVIDE FUNDS FOR EXERCISE AND TRAINING... |
| 00:24:34 |
|
I WOULD ONLY ADD THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE SPECIFIC CHILD CARE FACILITIES, THEY'RE REGULATED BY STATE... |
| 00:26:13 |

AS THE SENATOR KNOWS, DO WE NEED TO CHANGE THE STAFFORD ACT? I SAID, WELL, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE... |
| 00:32:36 |
|
WHAT CHANGES TO THE LAW WOULD FEMA LIKE TO SEE AS A RESULT OF THIS REPORT? |
| 00:32:45 |

I THINK I ANSWERED THAT. AGAIN, WE'RE WORKING RIGHT NOW. |
| 00:32:49 |
|
SPECIFIC CHANGES. |
| 00:32:50 |
|
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED, WHEN YOU ACTUALLY GET DOWN AND READ THE STAFFORD ACT, HOW MUCH... |
| 00:33:18 |

IF A HURRICANE OR DISASTER STRUCK TOMORROW, WHAT WOULD BE THE IMMEDIATE ISSUES AND THE WEAKNESSES... |
| 00:33:30 |
|
I GUESS I COULD JUMP IN AND MAYBE ANSWER SPECIFIC THINGS THAT THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO SEE PASS.... |
| 00:35:41 |
|
ONE THING I WOULD ADD, WHICH WOULD NOT BE DONE TODAY, WHICH NEEDS TO, IS THE MENTAL HEALTH COMPONENT... |
| 00:38:11 |
|
WE NEED BLEACHERS UP HERE OR SOMETHING. HOW IMPORTANT IS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS... |
| 00:38:25 |

| 00:42:21 |
|
I GOT UP HERE AND COMING FROM FLORIDA, I BASE EVERYTHING ABOUT WHERE I CAME AND MY EXPERIENCES. WHEN... |
| 00:42:54 |
|
WE COULDN'T HANDLE THE '04 HURRICANE SEASON WITHOUT THE VOLUNTEER GROUPS. I SAID YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE.... |
| 00:44:03 |
|
SPEAKING OF FOLKS WHO DON'T LIKE BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO, HOW CAN FEMA AND THE COMMISSION INFLUENCE... |
| 00:44:15 |
|
I THINK IT COMES BACK TO, WE HAVE GREAT PARTNERS. AGAIN, AS MUCH AS WE TALK ABOUT THIS, WE HAVE AREAS... |
| 00:45:37 |
|
I WOULD JUST ADD THAT FEEDBACK WE HAVE GOTTEN IN THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON CHILDREN IN DISASTERS... |
| 00:47:42 |

THIS COMES FROM OUR ACROSS THE NATION FROM FOLKS AS UCLA. THEY WANT TO KNOW, SIMILAR TO THE MEDICAL... |
| 00:48:13 |

I WILL TAKE THAT UNDER ADVISE: THE OTHER QUESTION, IS THIS FOR PLANNING OR RESPONSE? WE WANT TO IDENTIFY,... |
| 00:49:15 |

|
SHORT ANSWER? WE DIDN'T BUILD THEM. I MEAN, IT'S NOT A MYSTERY WHEN YOU HAVE THAT MANY HOMES DESTROYED... |
| 00:57:02 |
|
DON'T GO AWAY. IT CAN TAKE YEARS TO OBTAIN RECORDS FROM FEMA'S FREEDOM OF INFORMATION OFFICE. DO YOU... |
| 00:57:14 |
|
THE STANDARD ANSWER IS, OUR ATTORNEYS WILL RESPOND TO YOU PROMPTLY. I ACTUALLY COME FROM THE STATE... |
| 00:58:35 |

WE ARE ALMOST OUT OF TIME BUT BEFORE I ASK THE LAST QUESTION, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF IMPORTANT MATTERS... |
