BOTS won’t cut it. The Portal, the CRC a 4th Policy Guide with lots of false deadlines keeps making disaster recovery more expensive and much slower. Congressional intent to “save the federal gov’t $$” isn’t working. FEMA allowing its contractors to run up huge costs while dragging out approvals. #COVID19 questions from CRC prove their lack of knowledge much less expertise.
