Thanks to the hard work of @FEMA, we’ve pre-positioned resources, equipment, and response teams to respond to Hurricane Ida. That includes more than 2,400 FEMA employees, millions of meals and liters of water, generators, search and rescue teams, and over 100 ambulances. https://t.co/oPNBSj4hVS

Our whole-of-government effort is already hard at work. We will be here to help the Gulf Coast region get back on its feet as quickly as possible — however long that takes. https://t.co/LO4G4I13Am

To the people of the Gulf Coast: Please follow the instructions of local officials during this dangerous time. As soon as Hurricane Ida passes, we will put this country’s full might behind your rescue and recovery.

As Christians the situation in Afghanistan obligates us. In historic moments like this, we cannot remain indifferent. For this reason, I address an appeal to everyone to intensify your prayer and practice fasting, asking the Lord for mercy and forgiveness.

Today I was briefed on our preparations for Hurricane Ida by @FEMA. We have deployed emergency response personnel and pre-positioned food, water, generators, and supplies to make sure we’re ready to respond. If you are in Ida’s path, please pay attention and be prepared. https://t.co/FgIQOrfUuY

Glenn Beck is flying private planes to Afghanistan for rescue missions. Not Mark Zuckerberg. Not Jeff Bezos. Not Jack Dorsey. Glenn Beck.
