Mr. President?” “Mr. President?” “Yes.” “If you could just say a word, I know Angelenos would really appreciate hearing it.” “Look, first of all, I think you guys are undergoing one hell of an operation here. And a catastrophic risk of flash flooding is still, I guess, in the works. You know, I just got off the phone with Governor Newsom. We’re working closely together that the state is mobilized with resources you need. If there’s anything more you need from us, from my FEMA director, Deanne Criswell, is on top of this, along with Region 9 administrator Bob Fenton. And FEMA’s well positioned with personnel, state emergency operations center and resources across the state. And we’ll get any help on the way as soon as you guys request it. So just let me know. That’s why I’m calling.” “OK, well, thank you so much, Mr. President.”
