#3There were stockpiles of supplies in Puerto Rico, too, but that didn't mean it was successfully distributed to the people who needed it.[1] Is there a secret plan for disbursing this stockpile to 300+ million Americans? If so, why wasn't that plan utilized in PR?

Seems to break most of my understood “Rules of Operational Security”.

Everyone knows where the fire stations are. Civilian protection isn't usually secret. What's secret is the US bioweapons program.

I find it irritating that Washington Post removes the url and replaces it with their homepage so that I have to go back and find the url and open it in a private tab.
