No, this isn't typical nor were these donations, these were delivered by FEMA and were paid for with American tax dollars.
Yes, this is typical. I had a relative who used to run disaster relief for an NGO and she always said the biggest challenge wasn't getting the needed items, it was getting them where they need to be.
Doesn't matter who paid for them. Did FEMA give them helicopters to get the water out to rural areas?
Where's that stupid woman who had the custom T Shirts printed by CNN while claiming that her people were dying in the streets?
You do realize that she is just the major of San Juan not the governor? No, I doubt that matters to all you Trump supporters nor the fact that 3,000 people died from the storm but lets make this all about the major.

Of course they didn't. They dumped the water off and said, have fun trying to deliver. And you are correct in saying this is typical.

Nope, leaving over a million bottles of water on a runway when people need it isn't typical. There's STILL a need for this water in PR, there's no reason whatsoever this wasn't distributed. Having a few or even 100 pallets left over is excusable, a runway full of water is negligent. Your relative would have been fired, relieved of duty and possibly charged if she oversaw the waste of a million bottles of drinking water.
As a matter of fact, FEMA did supply PR with choppers to distribute supplies to rural areas but local gov. officials managed the distribution on the ground.
So if she is directly responsible then so is Trump since the top man is ultimately responsible.
President Trump and his agents in FEMA did their job well and even picked up the pieces when the local democrat politicians failed, just like GWB in New Orleans after Katrina. Ignorant democrats tried to blame the President then and they're doing the same thing now.
It's like we all forget that locals involved in disaster relief are also people who are worried about their families and homes and may not have the resources to deal on their own with the logistics of distribution. This is why our military has loads of supply chain managers. The job isn't over when the water is piled at the end of the runway. Let's hope we do better if Florence does a number on the Carolinas.
