OSCODA, MICH - A social most post that has gone viral has a lot of people asking questions about FEMA and Oscoda, Michigan.
The post states “FEMA is staging 350 Semi-Trailers and Equipment at an Air Force Bases in Oscoda, Michigan. The AFB was decommissioned in the 90’s. It’s for emergency services.
A video was also posted online showing an Oscoda Twp. official talking about this at a recent meeting saying FEMA was possibly coming to Wurtsmith.
I reached out to FEMA for explanation and they released the following statement:
“EMA routinely assesses the viability of sites that may be used in future disasters. There is no plan to use the Wurtsmith location to stage commodities at this time. We have no trailers at the location or on the way. This is an unfortunate misunderstanding."
Oscoda Twp. Manager Bill Palmer released the following statement:
“I misspoke at the Board meeting when I said FEMA was sending 350 semi's to Wurtsmith what I meant to say was Wurtsmith was being " considered" as a secure location along with 5 other possible locations for this secure staging of FEMA equipment, this would simply be a staging area for FEMA to cover some 6 counties in northern Michigan,as I understand, in case of an emergency or disaster of some kind, however at this time no decision has been made by FEMA to my knowledge. And I have no idea why FEMA is considering this possible action.”
