Audit: DHS pandemic supplies expired

Via avordvet

 

A new audit has found major gaps in the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) preparations for viral pandemics like Ebola: many of the supplies purchased by the government are expired.

Officials have spent millions to stockpile medical supplies since 2006 without knowing exactly what to buy or how they would be used, DHS Inspector General John Roth said Friday. The agency also failed to track the supplies it did purchase.

“We could not determine the basis for DHS’s decisions,” Roth told a panel of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as he presented the 43-page report.

DHS, which is one of the agencies leading the response to Ebola, has “no assurance” that it has enough protective gear or antiviral medications or that its supplies remain effective, Roth said.

  2. Another EPIC failure by the Feds at one of its few constitutional duties of "protecting" us. Convince the people that we are under attack, and then show us that we truly are on our own - don't ever think otherwise.

  3. I remember about six yrs. ago there were videos of big eighteen wheelers going into
    caves with massive amounts of storable food, from the floor to the ceiling.
    A truck driver took videos of it. Later the video was shrunk down on the sides so
    one could not see the massiveness of the storage.

  4. If this isn't proof that this Administration is willfully and purposefully trying to create an Ebola panic/epidemic in America, what does it take - nothing worse than an Idiot with Power:
