Some believe that Local and State agencies should be the 1st Line of Defense when it comes to Health Emergencies. And that the Federal Government should be considered as the Fall Back.
How well was Your state's preparedness in stockpile things like Masks and or PPE's or Ventilators?
Not Bagging on Arizona. Just say'n that ALL States should Except Equal responsibility if Blame is to be handed out.
Disaster prep is something that we the voters expect someone to have put in place for us. Doubt we would be willing to accept the extra dollars on our taxes though.
The States deal with smaller local emergencies all the time. Sometimes, like with major hurricanes, the feds have to step in to help. There are a lot of possible disasters out there. We can't prep for them all, especially something this big.
Once something hits the fed has tools nobody else has, like the Defense Production Act and hospital ships.
I read the other day that Finland is the only country in the world that had everything they need. For historical reasons prepping is a national obsession. They have stockpiles of everything.
