1/3 I would give the hurricane response for Florida and Texas an A+, this was prior to Hurricane Maria that hit Puerto Rico

@SarahDeYoung2 I was happy to talk with him.

It was a great opportunity to be with @Bloom_Energy at the Aspire conference in Silicon Valley to talk resilience, pre-disaster mitigation, and Project Impact 2.

@KathyHyde17 Kathy, please see my previous tweets regarding the administrations reponse to the hurricanes. We should continue to do all that we can to aide the response efforts in Puerto Rico and the other affected areas.

@jamesleewittAR Did you actually just give the Trump admin. an A+ grade on their response following the hurricanes, including in Puerto Rico? So, you're actually willing to sacrifice your integrity & legacy for this so-called pres.? WOW! Good luck with that.

Welcomed former FEMA Director @jamesleewittAR back to the building for a visit today. Emergency management really is a community; I appreciate the opportunity to discuss our shared experience.

Happy to see @jamesleewittAR chosen to lead Rebuild North Bay. No one I’d rather have lead this org &help us rebuild pressdemocrat.com/news/7560758-1…

It is my honor to work with @RebuildNB to help the people of the North Bay Area to respond to and recover from the wildfires twitter.com/northbaynews/s…

James Lee Witt on his new job planing fire recovery: “I’m sorry you’ll have to see me so much but I’ll do what I can”

1/7 We must continue to do everything we can to support the recovery efforts of Puerto Rico and USVI

1/6 The territories of PR and USVI present substantial issues of planning, logistics, shipping, housing, water, and medical facility issues

1/5 Disaster responses in the continental US are made easier by our infrastructure and available supplies and large #'s of 1st responders

1/4 It is still too early to grade the hurricane response in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. As time goes by it should become apparent

1/2 After the initial hurricane response in Texas and Florida, I was asked if I would give FEMA and the government an A+ for their response

1/1 As Director of FEMA I responded to 350 presidential disaster declarations. Disaster Responses are about people - not politics

Our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are in peril. They need our help now.

@richardbranson I rebuilt the USVI during my time as FEMA Director after Hurricane Marylyn, we should work together to rebuild the #BVI from #Irma

.@TheHeroInYouFdn and former @fema head @jamesleewittAR encourage you to be prepared during this unusually active #hurricane season.
