Media Must Report Disaster Warnings, Not Ignore Them

Fox News largely ignored a letter from FEMA employees warning that the agency’s current direction—driven by inexperience and cuts—could set the stage for a disaster on the scale of Hurricane Katrina. They barely covered it in a single segment, and didn’t mention that some whistleblowers were suspended for speaking out.

These are not fringe opinions—they’re expert warnings about diminished preparedness and public safety. Downplaying credible concerns isn’t journalism, it’s negligence.

Add your name to call on media outlets: Report these warnings with urgency and integrity—or risk the next catastrophe going based on ignorance.
