It's a 43 page pdf with a lot of formatting, I wasn't going to try to recreate that here. Hit the source link and take a look. It's not very information-dense.
It's interesting to see what our DC geniuses think is important. They of course slice and dice the info by a plethora of political identity groups. I'm sure that if the minority groups aren't prepping, somehow it's my fault.
They do a lot of what people think, as opposed to concrete measures. "51% of adults believed they were prepared for a disaster." OK, fine. What percentage had at least two weeks of food for the household on hand?
Overall, a typical bureaucratic waste of time. But at least half the country isn't ready for a disaster. And of the ones that say they are, I bet the FReeper prepper community would disabuse most of them of their notions.

Push poll — FEMA version. Manipulate by polling....
Second rule of Disaster Preparedness; No one talks about Disaster Preparedness.
What my plans are and level of any supposed stockpile are no one's business.
My eyes glazed over trying to dig thru that stuff.
Was there ever a mention of arming oneself?
After reading media reports about a suspect’s large arsenal containing hundreds of rounds of ammunition , a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol, I am leery of confessing to any non-friend of my minimal survival collection of pump shotguns and semi-auto shotguns, bolt action rifles and semi-auto rifles, revolvers and semi-auto handguns. I can only guess at tens of thousands of rounds of ammo bought before the big price expansion.
This mild old man would be massacred in the media as an entire one man militia.

Why would anyone think FEMA has NOT been politicized by The Regime?
Why would anyone expect a 40-page GovDome sponsored report to be written in plain-spoken English?
Why would anyone expect a clear, actionable result?
After a rash of catastrophic canoe accidents....
Screw DC. The ‘disaster’ is being promulgated by them! In the form of MILLIONS of illegals they are helping to enter and stay in this country illegally. That said, my own disaster prep is lead, powder, copper and brass for their ‘disaster’ if it’s needed.
Blacks topped this category.
“Percentage of people who believed that preparing can help in a disaster and were confident in their ability to prepare”
I wouldn’t tell those bastards anything. This is just a run-up to the passage of “anti-hoarding” laws.
We are 100% unprepared for anything and joyfully await the presence of FEMA saviors.
The first rule of Prep Club is you don’t talk about Prep Club.

Our biggest disaster sits in the white domicile, when he’s not on vacation.

Found this little gem in there.
“Since last year, there was a large increase in the percentage of people who assembled or updated supplies, but also a large decrease in the percentage of people who signed up for alerts and warnings.”
Translation: people think government is causing the problems, and therefor, they don’t trust their opinions or advice on the topic. Or worse, suspect it’s deliberately wrong.
FEMA - Prepping - bump for later.....
First we have the AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY conducted annually by the CENSUS BUREAU to spy on people.
Now, we have FEMA’S version of ‘out-of-control’ government spending on surveys to spy on people.
In Obama’s Netflix oddly titled movie, Leave the World Behind, it was strange that the rich neighbor left a fully stocked under ground bunker’s unlocked door open. Even more strange was that Kevin Bacon knew about the bunker and told a stranger about it. Most strange was when Kevin Bacon while defending his property with a shot gun did not shoot the looter who aimed a gun at him. There were a lot of plot holes in Obama’s production.
F’ FEMA. I don’t expect anything from them but preference to minorities and pain.
