Some times that is the case, often it isn't. 2 hours ago, Dark Star said: Doesn't matter. People who need to organize, coordinate and communicate for an event do not need a State of Emergency. We have seen a State of Emergency declared for the entire state when only 1 or 2 counties may be affected. Thank you for proving my point. 1 hour ago, weatherpruf said: how would you know? have you served in government? I’d say that’s a no, at least not with government attorneys and/or emergency services. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So despite any cataclysmic damage done by the weather, you can't get any federal funds unless you call a state of emergency? And if you do call a state of emergency with little or no damage you get federal funding? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of an old Donald Duck comic where he won the lottery but to be able to claim it he had to walk into the lottery offices walking backwards, hopping on his left leg while saying good morning in Chinese lol It was something like that. All technical crap designed to prevent him from claiming his winnings. The government works in a similar fashion haha 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG RS Posted October 11, 2025 Share Posted October 11, 2025 14 hours ago, Dark Star said: You don't need a state of emergency to communicate and coordinate. Declaring a SOE has become too commonplace, and only de-emphasizes a potentially dangerous situation. While I agree with you, it's not necessarily planning and coordination in terms of how to handle, it's about funding. Declaring a State of Emergency opens up additional funds from state and federal levels (mostly federal, though it is a bit complicated at times). So the SOE, while I will agree becomes like crying wolf, is really about opening of resources, most of which are financial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOE declarations are an avenue for misappropriation of funds, and this has only emboldened those in power to declare them more frequently. While they absolutely do open the doors for federal funding, they simultaneously allow for interstate funding to be reallocated. It's not what you may believe it is. It occurs across party lines. Like anything that governments create, especially for 'emergency' situations. Abuse eventually becomes rampant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we need to elect strong leaders, who have the ambition to go after those who are bilking the system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we limit how many States of Emergency can be declared per year so they are used much more sparingly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Star Posted October 12, 2025 Share Posted October 12, 2025 I'm posting this in the banter thread, since I don't want to downplay any warnings. The main coastal low that was forecast to cause most of the damage appears to be stationary near the coast of South Carolina. Some models predicted a secondary to develop along the Delmarva coastal area. Is this the precipitation that is affecting southeast NJ now and is being shunted southward away from Northeast NJ? It looks like some of this rain will graze Union County NJ and then be shunted further east? Will the upper level low over northern NY state add to any precipitation? I am thinking not much rain in northeast Jersey until maybe later tonight and tomorrow, if the low over South Carolina ever gets moving? I think the main concern is coastal flooding due to the long period of winds driving water towards the shore. Some breezes in Garwood NJ (central Union County), but otherwise just cloudy. Should have moved my garage sale from yesterday (showers) to today, but previous forecasts did not advise it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
