FEMA administrator on Texas hurricane damage: We're 'going to be there for years'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said his agency is already gearing up for a years-long effort to help Texas recover from the damage wrought by Hurricane Harvey.

"FEMA is going to be there for years," administrator Brock Long said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
He added, "This disaster is going to be a landmark event."

Hurricane Harvey, now a tropical storm, hit southeastern Texas this weekend, and forecasters said it would continue to make its way inland over the course of the next several days.

FEMA is focused on the immediate response to the storm, but is also "pushing forward" teams focused on recovery housing and flood insurance program policy.

"We're setting up and gearing up for the next couple years," Long said.

1. In the spring Trump said he would cut funding FEMA by 11% to help build his wall.

2. Where Is the money coming from to repair?

Texas hates raising taxes and so do the rethugs in congress. Texas could become a third world state because of its infrastructure failure.
