The video I watched is of the Governors Press Conference of Alabama in 2011. This video is about the joining of Alabama with our relationships with FEMA after the tornadoes in Northern Alabama. After the tornadoes there were fatalities and a difficult recovery process for Alabama because Northern Alabama had not ever dealt with this type of disaster in a long time.

Highlights:

-The main primary was debris removal and the governor specifically targeted the cleaning of the Lakes in Northern Alabama.  The Governors talked about his communication with FEMA in regards to cleaning out the debris.

-Communication between the Sheriff offices all around the state. If any people had received letters from FEMA that have denied their request the governor wanted a second letter delivered to them the reason why they were denied. The letters need to be sensitive to those in the state and the wording on them needed to be changed to more sensitive wording. Many people had received insensitive letters, and it was depressing.

-The amount of people that registered for individual assistance, and how their needs were being meant by local and federal governments (In Alabama, 42 counties declared for assistance).
