Acting DHS Head: The Partnersip at Every Level of Gov’t Has Been Exceptional

EXCERPT:

DUKE: "The department through FEMA has been working in close coordination with the state and local officials throughout the region for many days in preparing for Hurricane Harvey. And under the president’s direction, we have made every resource available to respond to this historic storm. The partnership at every level of government has been exceptional, and I want to thank Governor Abbott and Governor Edwards for all they have done. We understand that there are challenges before us, particularly in Houston, but we are committed to getting the resources local officials need as soon as possible."
