"Natural Disasters – Hurricane Fiona and Hurricane Ian GOVT 101" S 1 EP 3
Well, Wednesday afternoon Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 storm.
In this episode, I discuss my previous experience with hurricanes in Louisiana – Hurricane Katrina. Relieve experience working on capitol hill post-Katrina. I discuss the process of providing appropriations for natural disasters.
I am the host, Crystal Ellerbe. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep politics. I’ve done two tours of duty in the US Senate and one tour of duty in the US House. I had the privilege of working in state and local governments, corporate America and several lobbying firms in Washington, DC.
