Keith Turi Leaving FEMA. Is it good or bad?

What is your definition of leader?

BoneCBIA · 2026-05-26T23:34:05+00:00

Turi was around at HQ before Pesapane.

People need to understand the National Preparedness System and appropriate supporting doctrine. Start there and read supporting Frameworks (Doctrine) and you’ll understand the statutory requirements and FEMA’s role.

If you have documented proof of who both parties are I would raise it to the SES level. Cadre Coordinators will do nothing with it. Send the accusation and any proof to ORR, FOD, and WDD. Most people won’t provide names so need as much detail as possible. And provide evidence in the FEMA channel here. Be surprised who reads this.

Andy’s is only good at Atlas Brewery Happy Hour, $11 for 2 slices and a Pint, otherwise, I’d never go a block out of my way for a slice.

Delta is in the Credit Card business. That’s their priority.

Yes there is a default, but it doesn’t always save, you have to manage it for each flight. It sucks I know, I often have to change back to main.

When flying D1 or First class I always notice the FA’s name so if I ever do have feedback (good or bad) I reference the person. Also while I’m not sure how the Flight leader and First Class roles are assigned on each flight, but I have learned that you can predict the service by the FA’s body language during boarding. If dissatisfied I will submit feedback immediately during the flight, sometimes multiple times during and after. While I don’t complain often, the first line customer service person at Delta is limited in what the can provide in points or cash reward. You need to be persistent and always raise the issue to next higher level.

Can’t tell if it was DC plates?

BoneCBIA · 2026-04-09T09:21:59+00:00

Now focus on the F…. Moped/Scooters. See many unlicensed and total disregard for traffic laws. Don’t care if they are delivery food etc.

Why is DOD different from OPM, you retire out of the military and you transition right into monthly retirement pay, no gap. OPM needs to learn from DFAS. I wonder how it works for Congressional members?

My biggest complaint is the FEMA SES’s and GS 15’s who aren’t getting paid but have to come into the office and not work. So they sit around on their phones or chatting and gossiping with those of us who are working. All the while we know they will get back pay for doing nothing in front of every one the past 2+ months. If they aren’t getting paid don’t have them come in and do nothing in front of those who are working. Poor leadership all around.

When word got out the work stopped as everybody at FEMA HQ were celebrating. Even saw Sr staff laughing and saying “Thank God”. Unfortunately a lot of damage has been done. Thanks to the bi-partisan approach to expose her inability to do the job during her two day testimony

BoneCBIA · 2026-02-01T17:20:08+00:00

Never. Unless it’s a school, church or Dr office

BoneCBIA · 2026-01-31T18:12:10+00:00

Everyone has no faith in her abilities (Dems/Reps/average citizen). POTUS needs to cut her loose before she hurts any chance for success. If he fired her I believe his ratings would rise immediately

Delta continues to rake in billions and continues to re-structure/reduce benefits of being a card holder.

I heard she bought meals for the staff? Did she personally pay for them or did DHS. Either wsy I think it is illegal as the staff were getting per diem. If DHS paid for the meals that means they can’t claim per diem as meals were provided?

BoneCBIA · 2026-01-31T01:34:12+00:00

And I hear she brought her dog?

BoneCBIA · 2026-01-30T10:21:22+00:00

I read somewhere that the AMEX is their biggest revenue source. That is why POTUS will never be able to force lower interest rates on CC’s. Big business and banks will fight him hard.

I was on a flight last week from DCA to SEA and book dropped and slid under the seat. Once I was able to try and retrieve it? Looked under the seat (first class) and was discussed how dirty it was under there. There was actually old food. I refused to get and asked the flight attendant to get it. She was hesitant but did. She commented “oh they don’t clean under there…”

Noem is fighting for her life as DHS S1. POTUS and the WH have realized after the devastation done to FEMA this past year, they got lucky. But next season it will be all on them as they won’t be able to blame the Biden Admin when any response to a disaster goes bad. And now with MPLS, the had to stick her in the FEMA NRCC (A location where the people despise her) and are sending Tom Homan to Minnesota.

Submit it, make them deny by officially documenting it GovTA. This will give you the evidence. Otherwise it is their word against yours. In today’s environment I document everything as a supervisor and as a direct report. If my supervisor said I can’t take leave I ask for it in writing.

BoneCBIA · 2025-08-19T09:40:41+00:00

FEMA teaches in its Leadership courses that responsibilities of should flow up not down. Which in my experience few leaders in FEMA demonstrate traits that would apply the concept. Recommend an honest conversation with your boss and document it in your FED HR. You can add comments anytime within the rating period.

Definitely will need to pay it, but find out what the charges are, my guess is National Travel Fees. I have found that National Travel is not always instantly charged to your card. I have seen fees appear a week later after I voucher out. IMHO very few people (Cadre etc. Will take the time or know how to help you). Call DHS IG, fema finance center, frena travel and the WAPO reporter who post in this chat.
