EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS

I have been reading Bushevik claims that the governor of LA waited too long to declare a state of emergency. The WaPo reports that WH staffers said none had been declared by Saturday, Aug 28th. This is clearly FALSE and I learned that from commenters at Atrios.

LA declared a SOE on August 26th. Here's the declaration.

Presumably in response, the WH issued an emergency declaration on Aug. 27th.

Finally, LA sent a fax to the WH on Sunday, August 28, requesting immediate emergency disaster relief.
