President Obama Discusses Hurricane Sandy
At this stage, everybody is confident that the staging process, the prepositioning of resources, commodities, equipment that are going to be needed to respond to this storm are in place, the President said. But as Craig [Fugate] has emphasized, this hasn't hit landfall yet, so we don't yet know where it's going to hit, where we're going to see the biggest impacts. And that's exactly why it's so important for us to respond big and respond fast as local information starts coming in.

After canceling his appearance at a morning campaign rally in Orlando, Fla., President Barack Obama walks into the White House in a driving rain after returning to Washington to monitor preparations (for Hurricane Sandy)
President Obama Urges Caution for Those in the Path of Hurricane Sandy
Obviously, everybody is aware at this point that this is going to be a big and powerful storm, the President said. And all across the Eastern seaboard, I think everybody is taking the appropriate preparations."
He also urged residents in the path of Hurricane Sandy to heed warnings from local officials.
The most important message that I have for the public right now is, please listen to what your state and local officials are saying, he said from the White House Briefing Room. When they tell you to evacuate, you need to evacuate. Do not delay. Dont pause; dont question the instructions that are being given, because this is a serious storm and it could potentially have fatal consequence if people havent acted quickly."

October 29, 2012
This is a serious storm, but we are going to do what it takes to keep people safe and secure, and make sure the communities affected get the assistance they need. FEMA is working with state and local governments to respond effectively. We all owe a debt of thanks to the first responders who will be dealing with the immediate impact of the storm.
If you live in the storm's path, please listen to state and local authorities about where and how to take shelter and stay safeand encourage your friends and family to do the same. If you are asked to evacuate, please take that seriously.
For more information on how to prepare for this storm, visit Ready.gov.
And if you'd like to find out how to support relief efforts where they're needed most, please visit the Red Cross or your local relief organization.
Michelle and I are keeping everyone in the affected areas in our thoughts and prayers. Be safe.
