President Trump continues to closely monitor Hurricane Harvey and the
preparedness and response efforts of State, local, and Federal
officials. Today, the President received a briefing from Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Brock Long, Acting
Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke, his Homeland Security and
Counterterrorism Advisor Thomas P. Bossert, and his Chief of Staff John
F. Kelly. Yesterday, the President spoke with Governors Greg Abbott of
Texas and John Bel Edwards of Louisiana and committed to providing
assistance as appropriate.
This
storm will likely be very destructive for several days. The President
encourages people in the path of this dangerous storm to heed the advice
and orders of their local and State officials. The President’s highest
priority is the safety of the public and of first responders. Those
who ignore evacuation orders could be putting both themselves and first
responders in danger. We encourage all Americans in the affected areas
to be prepared, including by visiting Ready.gov, which provides
preparedness plans and important links to information.
