FEMA Sends Only 60 Generators to Texas During Power Crisis

Charlie Spiering 18 Feb 2021

FEMA has delivered only 60 generators to assist Texas residents, even though hundreds of thousands remain without power for the sixth day in a row.

President Joe Biden’s homeland security advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall said Thursday that FEMA had sent 60 generators to assist Texas localities without power.

“Specifically, in Texas [FEMA] has made 60 generators and fuel available to support critical sites like hospitals and water facilities,” Sherwood-Randall said during the White House press briefing, even as she acknowledged that 600,000 people in the state of Texas remain without power.

Earlier in the week, as many as eight million residents in the south-central part of the country and even in Mexico were without power after a freezing winter storm hit the region.

A spokesperson for FEMA told Breitbart News they had not received any additional requests for generators.

“FEMA has provided the state of Texas with 60 generators,” the spokesperson from FEMA said. “We have not received any additional requests from Texas for generators.”

A request for comment from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office was not returned.

Sherwood-Randall warned during the briefing that rolling blackouts in the state would continue.
