WASHINGTON — In a rare move, the government watchdog for the Federal
Emergency Management Agency has removed a dozen largely positive reports
evaluating how the agency responded under President Obama to several
disasters from 2012 to 2016, according to an internal memo obtained by USA
TODAY.
The 12 reports were rescinded by the Department of Homeland Security's
Office of Inspector General because they "may have not adequately answered
objectives and, in some cases, may have lacked sufficient and appropriate
evidence to support conclusions," read the internal memo issued Thursday.
"In an abundance of caution, we believe it best to recall the reports and
not re-issue them."
The reports being removed include initial assessments of FEMA's responseto
several disasters including two reports in 2013 on Hurricane Sandy in the
Northeast, a 2014 report on storms and tornadoes in Oklahoma, and a 2016
report on severe wildfires in California.
All of them praised the agency, using words such as "effective" and
"efficient" to characterize the agency's immediate response to major
calamities. Typical of language used inthese reports, the Inspector
General commended FEMA's response to the storms and flooding that hammered
South Carolina in 2015.
"FEMA completed all Preliminary Damage Assessments approximately two weeks
after the declaration; overcame pressing challenges and sourcing
decisions; and effectively coordinated its activities with Federal, State,
and local partners," according tothe IG report issued March 21, 2016.
FEMA is a division of the Homeland Security Department.
Nine of the 12 reports were signed by John V. Kelly, who headed the
division in the DHS Inspector General's office responsibility for
overseeing FEMA. Kelly is now the acting Inspector General.
Arlen Morales, a spokeswoman for the DHS Inspector General, confirmed the
decision to remove the reports.
"At DHS OIG, we hold ourselves to the highest standards for our important
work conducting oversight on behalf of American taxpayers," she said in an
email. "It has come to our attention that we may have failed to meet these
standards in some of our reports evaluating FEMA’s initial response to
several disasters."
Morales did not respond to an email asking how the substandard reports
were brought the attention of the IG or whether their removal implies that
FEMA's response to these disasters was poor.
Craig Fugate, FEMA administrator during the Obama presidency, said it was
"curious" that the reports were being pulled from the website.
'"For the life of me, I have no idea why they're rescinding them. I guess
the Obama administration didn't do anything right then," he said tongue-
in-cheek.

Morales said the Inspector General has developed a new approach designed
to provide real-time feedback to FEMA as the agency handles an ongoing
emergency.
"Rather than attempting to publish traditional audit reports conducted
under Government Auditing Standards, we will issue alerts to FEMA
regarding problems or issues that we have observed in the field," she
said. "We will also continue to identify potential risk areas to be
addressed by future traditional audits."
The approach has been used in recent audits of disasters, including
Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria, and last year’s California wildfires, she
said.
Fugate said that could be more beneficial than the after-the-fact
"punitive reports" the IG often issues in the wake of a disaster.
"If they're moving to where (they give FEMA) a chance to address those as
they see them, particular in the disaster environments, that would be
helpful," he said.

parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

General Robert E. Lee once said that "a dead republican is a good
republican". The Framers gave us the 2nd Amendment so we could defend the
nation from rightist opressors, preferably killing them. A Golden Age for
America. Once the Republicans are defeated in the mid terms and Trump is
indicted, the retribution will come and rightists will be hanging by their
necks from lamp posts, dotting the landscape like potted plants. God will
not protect the rightist come Judgement Day.
