FEMA 署长汉密尔顿要求各州提高应急储备、自行承担大部分救灾

据 Politico 获得的录音,联邦应急管理局(FEMA)署长卡梅伦·汉密尔顿(Cameron Hamilton)10月20日在 Little Rock 举行的全国应急管理协会年会上告诉各州官员,各州必须增加财政储备和应急能力,「自行应对大部分灾害」;他表示,希望未来「各州能力足够强、不再需要那么多联邦救灾介入」。此番表态延续了他10月15日内部备忘录的立场,即强化州与地方能力、各州自担更多责任。
FEMA Administrator Hamilton Tells States to Build Reserves and Handle Most Disasters Themselves
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Cameron Hamilton told state officials on October 20 that states must build up their financial reserves and emergency capacity and "handle most disasters on their own," according to a recording obtained by Politico. Speaking at the National Emergency Management Association's annual forum in Little Rock, Hamilton said he hopes states will one day be capable enough that far less federal disaster intervention is needed. The remarks build on his October 15 internal memo calling for stronger state and local capacity, with states shouldering more of the disaster-response burden.
