An internal memo from the acting FEMA administrator sent to the White House and obtained by CNN has laid the ground work to shift the expense of disasters from the federal government to the states.

Let's explore what this actually means...

1/
cnn.com/2025/04/25/pol… Under current rules, in order for a state to qualify for a federal disaster declaration, the damage & expenses to state and local governments must exceed a threshold called the Per Capita Indicator. The current state PCI rate is $1.89 as of Oct 1, 2024.

A very interesting flight just landed at Kirtland AFB, NM direct from Europe.

The 4 digit RCH call sign indicates a high priority mission. This flight was carried out by 2 separate USAF C-17s operating under the same call sign.

Lets explore this flight together.

At least 18 US Air Force tankers are being staged in the Pacific with several each at Travis AFB in CA, Daniel K. Inouye IAP in HI and Andersen AFB in Guam.

This suggests some kind of large movement of air assets into the Pacific theater will take place this week.

1/ Image All of these flights are carrying a RCH0## call signs in sequential order from RCH011-RCH033. Mission coding appears to be linked as well.

This is far too many tankers to be supporting SecDef's trip that begins on Monday, however the timing is curious.

Maybe SecDef will have an announcement to make this week while on his trip.

It's clear to me that there is a fundamental understanding of what FEMA does, and how they do it.

I'm going to attack it in this 🧵. Buckle up, it might be a long one...

1/ Image First, lets discuss the disaster process.

All disasters begin & end locally. This means that locals retain control over the incident in their jurisdiction.

When a disaster strikes, locals respond. Once overwhelmed, they request aid from the state emergency management agency (EMA).
