I have continued to look into how my local government is responding to this urgent issue. I would like everyone to know that I have since learned that it is not the agency that is unwilling to respond it's our elected officials. Specifically Phil Mendelson the Council member in charge of the Nation's Capitol city Public Safety Committee.
I really hit home for me after a recent spate of natural disasters and the Council member was quoted in the press saying: "Cell phone are useless in emergencies." This shows me that will the sweeping changes that have already happen in public safety --the public leadership in my District need to change.
I would also like to apologize to the folks in the District's agency's that are trying to do the public's work while our leadership fails to understand the changes that have already happened.
In the Nation's capital the last two days we have
had several of our Public Schools targeted with a campaign to send some kind of white substance in letters to them.
During all of this the local emergency agencies not only failed to address it the media and various social media citizens took it upon themselves to fill in the gap.
So citizens are left with offical Gov agencies that aren't the Emergency Managmement office giving out info like this
and again DC' Emergency Managment Agency
And Citizens with their own alerts
This is just un acceptable in the Nation's Capitol
