~~Especially if you are the president of the $5 Million Public Relations firm contracted by the Corps of Engineers N.O. District for media spin'filtration and story'tellin!
~The ASFPM CFM Program is directed toward individuals from widely varying occupations, interests, and educational backgrounds who have routine floodplain management duties. This includes representatives from the following groups; community/state/federal officials, the private sector, academia, interest groups, and private citizens. For the purposes of the ASFPM CFM Program, floodplain management is defined as "Activities and efforts undertaken to reduce flood losses and human suffering and to protect the natural and beneficial values and functions of floodplains."
~Editilla wretches and throws caution to the fan~
Does the above definition sound like our sweet girls at OPP, who didn't show up on the scene in New Orleans until 2007 when they scored the big $5,000,000 (tax-free) contract with the Corps to whitewash and cleanse the Corps bad press?
This must be the most disgusting piece of news to flow across our desk in a while, to wit: the Queen Succubus of that Den of Succubi known as OPP has not only absconded with the Public Trust here in New Orleans, but appears to have also snagged a nice plaque to hang on her wall so everyone will know that she's CERTIFIED.But let it be noted that this Charlatan of Leake Street left off her employment with the Corps of Engineers in her Press Release.
Hmmm, we wonder why? Why wouldn't this haint want the world to know how she and her company have inseminated themselves by hook or crook into the Flood Safety Dialogue for New Orleans?
The Grim Roper would have you all believe they just work for FEMA to "educate the public of flood mitigation". HA! There are lies and then there are damn pesky fleas that get up in'yer nose? Here is where OPP works to lobby FEMA's new modeling system: FEMA HAZUS-MH Multi-Hazard Loss Estimation Methodology Program A Crystal Ball for Disaster Mitigation. Hardly "educating the public", more like Selling another FEMA Expensive Thing (FET).
Who are these socalled Floodplain Managers that would award certification to a Public Relations Hag?
I mean hell, for what it's worth, why don't we all apply to take the test and become Floodplain managers? Well, costs for one thing.
Soooo, just to make sure we have it here:
The head of the Corps Public Relations is now a Certified Floodplain Manager?
Oh Hell, are we screwed or what? Can I get a Witnaaasss?
I have to go to the bathroom...again!
