The National Guard was tasked to assist. FEMA1 sent representatives.Community organizations and non-profits from throughout the state, and even nationally,responded by volunteering, and sending bottled water. The Governor formed Mission Flint,which brought key members of the Administration together weekly, and the Legislatureauthorized a supplemental budget. Bottled water and water filters were distributed andresidents were provided information in multiple languages. It was all hands on deck. From allaccounts, the government was operating the way we would expect it to operate in response toan emergency. What then, was the problem? The timing. Preceding this flurry of "state of emergency" activity, Flint residents had been reporting heavily discolored and bad tasting water for well over a year. This report is triggered by the Flint Water Crisis, but in many ways is not just about Flint. Thisreport seeks to outline a broader framework to explain why the crisis occurred and to proposea set of recommendations that minimizes and safeguards against similar crises in the future.Our report is not meant to assess blame, but to help ensure that such a crisis does not occur inthe future and to address shortcomings that continue to persist over time., In January 2016, a series of states of emergency for the City of Flint were declared by the Mayor, the Governor and even the President.
