"the Environmental Protection Agency showed they learned from Harvey to ensure the [hurricane] damage wasn't as bad stateside" – surely you mean the Federal Emergency Management Agency? – ☆ Bri (talk) 04:34, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per content at Hurricane Irma#Florida that is cited there, EPA is correct. The specific issue is hazardous materials, not general disaster or public/social services. DMacks (talk) 04:48, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunate that somebody more familiar with US agencies didn't get a chance to work on this before publication. It really is FEMA first (see Criticism of government response to Hurricane Katrina) and EPA as a secondary, near incidental role. Bri.public (talk) 17:26, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
