The #Bahamas has a stable & capable government. U.S. & Bahamian officials have a very close working relationship. The Bahamas will recover. Bahamians aren’t asking for TPS. They want to expedite &/or waive Visa requirements for those displaced until it is safe to return. — PolitiTweet.org

Good Samaritans have started chartering aircraft to fly into Abaco and there is no airspace management, making the need to control airspace increasingly important. The Bahamian government will likely request the @FAANews issue a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) 5/6 — PolitiTweet.org

As of right now there is still no viable way to deliver large amounts of aid to Abaco. Shelter,food,& water delivery is critical now need. Those willing to donate to relief effort can do so at @BahamasRedCross (https://t.co/kFi78gDIaj​) or NEMA ([email protected]) 6/6 — PolitiTweet.org

I am concerned (as is Governor)that in future counties may be reluctant to undertake pre-storm protective measures if costs will not be reimbursed. Especially since many of these counties are still waiting for reimbursements from 2016 & 2017 storms. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

.@FEMA “Category B Reimbursement” is for pre-storm “Emergency Protective Measures” but are generally limited to direct federal assistance provided if @FLSERT is unable to meet a counties needs. It does not appear any direct federal assistance will occur with this storm. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org
