What exactly has De Santis done?

Did he do massive public messages well before this storm, telling people to leave the state? Did he reach out to Biden for Fema, or was Biden the first to make contact. Did he activate the Nat'l Guard? Did he co-ordinate with Coast Guard or Navy Medical ship? Did he tell people to stock up on food, water, candles, supplies? Where is he? Is he even in the state?

He can’t tell people to leave the state until he knows where the hurricanes going. Can you imagine if he would’ve told everyone to leave the state and then hurricane switched I went to Texas? He’d be in a shit load of trouble.

with warnings and activated Nat'l Guard. He also whined that Biden hadn't called him or done anything because he is a liar.

Florida National Guard were activated 2 days ago. They were prepositioning men and supplies then. Outside States have also been contacted. Tennessee is sending units down already. Georgia and North Carolina are preparing. Alabama and Georgia started staging helicopters and supplies 2 days ago as well. Texas bases are hosting aircraft from McDill AFB, but that's Federal assets.

You've got to have priorities.
