1/Hurricane Fiona Slams Into Puerto Rico
It is time for me, once again, to advocate for @fema @DOTMARAD @US_TRANSCOM to have one of the RRF ro/ros loaded with relief gear at the start of the Hurricane season.

2/The @RoyalNavy @RFAHeadquarters does this with one their Bay-class LSD(A) and are able to respond immediately.
The hit on Puerto Rico once again demonstrates the need for immediate relief, not days or weeks later.

3/Additionally, the @usnavy should have on standby (on a rotating basis) amphibs and other vessels that can sortie.
The @USArmy should have its watercraft fleet of LSVs and LCUs set sail as land transportation is usually disrupte and over the shore ops & helps are essential.

4/And, of course, stand by for the barrage of commentary blaming all the issues of hurricane disaster in the world on the #JonesAct. While that is taking place, one only needs to look at the schedules of @CrowleyMaritime. @TOTE_Maritime & others sailing to Puerto Rico.
